There was another girl
|
She was much like you
|
She lived in the past
|
And had trouble with the future
|
Well, she walked with her head held high
|
And her hands held down at the sides
|
|
|
It was everything that I had not wanted
|
There were reasons to be crazy
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Make no mistake about it
|
(When she stopped crying her eyes got bright)
|
Make no mistake about it
|
(She walked with her head held high and her hands held down at her
|
sides)
|
Make no mistake about it
|
( Make no mistake about it... those were real tears)
|
Make no mistake about it
|
(Make no mistake about it... I've always been unreal)
|
|
|
And you walked a thousand miles in a few weeks
|
Very little love exists through the rain and the fog
|
In her always hanging mirror
|
|
|
It was everything that I had not wanted
|
There were reasons to be crazy
|
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
(Back-up vocals same as first chorus. Repeat chorus to 3rd line then add:)
|
|
Those were real tears
|
Make no mistake about it
|
I've always been unreal
|
|
She takes a lot of time sometimes
|
It takes a lot of time to know her
|
She will disappear before you
|
Right in front of your very eyes
|
|
|
Down through the years
|
She has accepted her life
|
With her hands held down in fear
|
Take a tear of a rose and push it into your hands
|
These are real tears
|
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
|
It was everything I had not wanted
|
Whoa, there were reasons to be crazy
|
And all the reasons
|
Well, that she was just like you
|
So she keeps them in her heart
|
So she keeps them in her heart
|
