I had a girl, yeah, had is the word
I tried to hold on, but it was pretty absurd
She said she loved me, and I said I loved her too
But we weren't havin' any fun, so what could I do?
I let her slip away, away
I let her slip away, away
I had a car, yeah, the color was blue
It kept breakin' down, so what could I do?
I put an ad in a paper, you know, I called it a steal
And then this (????), and we struck a deal
I let her slip away, away
I let her slip away, away
Alright, (????)
I had a thought, you know I thought it a lot
I thought I was smart, but now, I know that I'm not
I let her slip away, away
I let her slip away, away
I let her slip away, away
I let her slip away, away
