The Girl With No Name
Lola Mercer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you have to remind yourself that she's not talking about you
And you consider yourself lucky just to have her around
But deep inside you know that it really gets you down
And it hurts to know that she's out there with others
And they're making her laugh, she's moving on with new lovers
You try to keep up, but they're just not the same
As this one girl who has no name
You talk everyday and you feel more secure than any time in your life
But you're really not sure why you can't stop thinking about
Her smile and her lips and stealing a kiss
You push those thoughts out of your head
And try to go back to being normal instead
But it's just not the same all because of this girl with no name
Everyday you fall harder and it's just not smart
But she's just there and she's such the charmer
But she's not even doing anything so what is your problem who knows
You can't help but love this girl with no name
And she used to love you so it's such a shame
Because you messed it all up now you're back to the start
And she's stolen your heart once again
