Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody's girl
Whats the point in being everybody's girl?
Maybe you think that way there's no chance getting hurt
Living for no one cost me way more than it's worth
So you're gonna be a singer
Well I'll be goddamn
You're as pretty as a postcard
No thank to the old man
It's the same coat I had on
The night that I went in
I can stay an hour at Canter's
The streets cool off by then
When can I see you again?
[Verse 2]
Whatever happened to the girl I knew?
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
Whatever happened to the girl I knew?
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
[Verse 3]
Everything you want
Whats the fun in getting everything you want?
I wouldn't know but, look, baby you should try
Forget that lefty shit, your mom drilled in your mind
[Verse 4]
Give the world a new savior
Sell his pictures to the press
Buy a place out in the country
Leave this world for someone else
[Verse 5]
My destruction is an hour late
I'm at Buddy's Rendezvous
Telling the losers and old-timers
How good I did with you
They almost believe me too
[Verse 6]
Whatever happened to the girl I knew?
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
Whatever happened to the girl I knew?
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
Whatever happened to the girl I knew?
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
