Lyrics
THE GIRL
Verse 1
MAY I PLEASE HAVE THIS DANCE
YOU KNOW I BEEN WATCHIN? YOU, DARLIN?
DREAMIN? OF ROMANCE
OH YEAH, I CAN DREAM, DREAM OF MAKING YOU MINE
Verse 2
AS WE GLIDE ACROSS THE FLOOR
I FEEL YOU, BABY, SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR
OH WHAT I?D GIVE FOR YOU TO SAY THAT YOU?LL BE MINE
BRIDGE
YOU?RE HIS GIRL
AND YOU ARE MY FRIEND
BUT SOMEHOW IT PLEASES YOU TO LET ME PRETEND
YOU KNOW I?D GIVE ANYTHING
ANYTHING THAT IT TAKES
AND YOU DON?T SEEM TO CARE JUST HOW MUCH MY POOR HEART BREAKS
Verse 3
HOW COULD I BE SUCH A FOOL
TO LOVE SOMEONE WHO CAN BE SO CRUEL
BUT YOU, YOU?RE THE ONE, THE GIRL WHO NEVER WILL BE MINE
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Verse 4
ONE LAST DANCE, I CAN?T LET GO
I DON?T CARE, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I?LL ALWAYS WANT
THE GIRL WHO NEVER WILL BE MINE
