the girl from lakeville

the girl comes from lakeville

her dad - he cuts hair

it's a small town in the middle of nowhere

in tried and tested fashion

she took a plane and headed west

to a city of neuroses

to the one that i love best

did you think i couldn't feel it from 5000 miles away?

that i wouldn't sense betrayal in the things he could

not say?

i may be ditsy - i know i'm uncool

but i'm not like you

sierra bonita

that you'll never be

and i figure for that you'll always hate me

but beauty is affliction

it scars you from the rest

i only wanted to be ordinary

to be no more

to have

no less

did you think he wouldn't think of me when you moved

your hand down there?

that he wouldn't think it strange to run his fingers

through your hair?

is the one thing that you want the thing you know

you'll never have?

three lonely people - it's one sorry mess

oh my girlfriend

girlfriend

i dig the book you bought

hey my girlfriend

girlfriend

the record was cool

oh my girlfriend

girlfriend

you know you made me smile

oh my girlfriend

girlfriend

i thought we'd be friends for a while. i thought that we'd be

i thought we'd be friends

girl

what'ya do it for? hey

what'ya do it for?

why'd ya make me cry

little girl? cry

oh the books and records

clouds in mind

i think of

you

think of him sometimes. what'ya do it for?

i won't think about it

i won't think about it

ever again
