Lyric
Well, no one told me about her, the way she liedWell, no one told me about her, how many people cried But it’s too late to say you’re sorry How would I know, why should I care? Please don’t bother tryin’ to find her She’s not thereWell, let me tell you ’bout the way she lookedThe way she’d act and the colour of her hair Her voice was soft and cool Her eyes were clear and bright But she’s not thereWell, no one told me about her, what could I do?Well, no one told me about her, though they all knew But it’s too late to say you’re sorry How would I know, why should I care? Please don’t bother tryin’ to find her She’s not thereWell, let me tell you ’bout the way she lookedThe way she’d act and the colour of her hair Her voice was soft and cool Her eyes were clear and bright But she’s not thereBut it’s too late to say you’re sorryHow would I know, why should I care? Please don’t bother tryin’ to find her She’s not thereWell, let me tell you ’bout the way she lookedThe way she’d act and the colour of her hair Her voice was soft and cool Her eyes were clear and bright But she’s not there
