Lyrics

She Used to be Somebody?s Girl

1. Cotton sheets on a string flap in the air?
Hanging above a white folding chair
While inside a (40 watt) bulb?s burning low
Over a table where she eats alone.

She fills up an ashtray and watches smoke swirl?
She used to be somebody?s girl?

2. Linoleum fades after years on a floor?
Just like the pictures in her dresser drawer.
She takes them out every once in a while?
Spreads them out on the bed and lays there and smiles?

She lived for a while on top of the world
She used to be somebody?s girl?

Now nobody?s looking when she?s walking by
And nobody cares if she cries
There was a time when she?d dance, sway and twirl
She used to be somebody?s girl?she used to be somebody?s girl

3. Her closet once held only the best?
Dresses for dancing and turning his head?
Now they?re packed away neatly up in a box?
Next to his hats, his ties and his socks.

Cause she used to be tall? with long blonde curls?
She used to be somebody?s girl?

Now nobody?s looking when she?s walking by
And nobody cares if she cries
There was a time when she?d dance, sway and twirl
She used to be somebody?s girl?she used to be somebody?s girl
