Nerina Pallot - The Girl from Lakeville lyrics

The girl comes from Lakeville Her dad - he cuts hair. It's a small town in the middle of nowhere. In tried and tested fashion She took a plane and headed west To a city of neuroses, to the one that I love best. Did you think I couldn't feel it from 5000 miles away? That I wouldn't sense betrayal in the things he could not say? I may be ditsy - I know I'm uncool But I'm not like you. Sierra Bonita That you'll never be. And I figure for that you'll always hate me. But beauty is affliction It scars you from the rest I only wanted to be ordinary, to be no more, to have no less. Did you think he wouldn't think of me when you moved your hand down there? That he wouldn't think it strange to run his fingers through your hair? Is the one thing that you want the thing you know you'll never have? Three lonely people - it's one sorry mess. Oh my girlfriend, girlfriend I dig the book you bought Hey my girlfriend, girlfriend The record was cool Oh my girlfriend, girlfriend You know you made me smile Oh my girlfriend, girlfriend I thought we'd be friends for a while... I thought that we'd be, I thought we'd be friends girl. What'ya do it for? Hey, what'ya do it for? Why'd ya make me cry, little girl? Cry. Oh the books and records, clouds in mind, I think of you, think of him sometimes... What'ya do it for? I won't think about it, I won't think about it Ever again.
