she looked like audrey hepburn

maybe she should just go home

why should she just sit and watch telly on her own?

right or wrong

she'll stand or fall

writing's written on the wall

well

i bet she was beautiful

when she was 23

kisses wasted on wrong cheeks

minutes turning into weeks

official status not quite known

tired of trying to exist on her own

well

i bet she was beautiful

when she was 23

she looked like audrey hepburn

sang like doris day

legs like marlene dietrich

this old girl's the girl that got away

she made a name near and far

playing nearly every single cabaret bar

she said she could have been a star

but she never got the chance to get that far

well

i bet she was beautiful

when she was 23

she looked like audrey hepburn

sang like doris day

legs like marlene dietrich

this old girl's the girl that got away

she looked like audrey hepburn

sang like doris day

legs like marlene dietrich

this old girl's the girl that got away

he thought they fell in love

he thought they shared a moment

he thought she was looking deep into his eyes

right into his very soul

but she was just checking her hair in the reflection of his sunglasses

she looked like audrey hepburn

sang like doris day

legs like marlene dietrich

this old girl's the girl that got away

she looked like audrey hepburn

sang like doris day

legs like marlene dietrich

this old girl's the girl that got away
