Lawson - The Girl I Knew Lyrics

Thought love had come my way
When I saw you face to face
When you looked at me that way
In Covent Garden that day

What did I do wrong to make you doubt me?
Why did you change?

The girl I knew always made me smile
The girl I knew wanted my first child
The girl I knew wouldn't make me cry
But she's gone and left home tonight
Left me on my own tonight

Of all the days we spent together
And the endless movie nights
Said we'd always last forever
And I never thought you'd lie

How did I lose my best friend?
And, what happens now?

The girl I knew always made me smile
The girl I knew wanted my first child
The girl I knew wouldn't make me cry
But she's gone and left home tonight

The girl I knew
Wouldn't want more things I've ever had
The girl I knew
Told me I could always make her laugh

Now she's living on her own
And she's listening to sad songs
And I'm waiting for the day she calls my phone
And she says that she was wrong

The girl I knew always made me smile
The girl I knew wanted my first child
The girl I knew wouldn't make me cry
But she's gone and left home tonight

The girl I knew please come home tonight
The girl I knew always made things right
The girl I knew I can't live without
And I need you home tonight
Just us, just you and I
