New Girl Now
Honeymoon Suite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Storm clouds in the air
My eyes' lids so heavy
I'm feeling in the past tense
I'm hardly aware
I don't want you on the phone
Don't you play good girl with me
Why must I always say it again?
I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
And she's a lot like you
I tried to wash my face
But my head fell too low
I tried to bear with myself
But my mind wouldn't stay at home
I don't care if you're sitting at home
Somebody has broken into me
Why must I always say it again?
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
She's a lot like you
I don't want you on the phone
Don't you play good girl with me
Why must I always say it again?
I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
She's a lot like you
I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
She's a lot like you
Lot like you
Just like you

I was 16, a sophomore and just got my car and license. At the beach with my ‘74 Beetle, blasting this tune on my Blaupunkt stereo. We did have the world by the balls.
