The Girl Who Used to Be
She's the girl who used to be
In the town I can't remember
Just a face you use to see
In a show one past September
Another child star who didn't get far
As she hoped to
She's got re-runs for memories
She don't want sympathy, or pity from me
She wants the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
And there's no sympathy, or pity from me
Just the chance to do it over
To prove that she can
Oh-ho
She reads the want ads and haunts the bars
What she finds is next to nothing
She can push, but just so far
And she's tired of being that someone
At the end of the line
She wants her day in the sun forever
Not much different from you and me
She don't want sympathy, or pity from me
She wants the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
And there's no sympathy, or pity from me
Just the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
Oh-ho
She's the girl who used to be (the girl who used to be)
In the town that can't remember (the town that can't remember)
Just a face you use to see (the face you use to see)
In the town that can't remember (town that can't remember)
She's the girl who used to be (the girl who used to be)
In the town that can't remember (a face)
(You use to see) just a face you use to see (just a girl you)
(Can't remember) in the town that can't remember (just)
Can't remember (a face you-)
She's the girl (use to see)
You can't remember
She's the face (in the town)
Can't remember
(Can't remember) the girl you used to be (the face, you used to be)
Can't remember (the girl)
She's the girl you used to be (the face, that can't)
(Remember) in the town that can't remember
In the town I can't remember
Just a face you use to see
In a show one past September
Another child star who didn't get far
As she hoped to
She's got re-runs for memories
She don't want sympathy, or pity from me
She wants the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
And there's no sympathy, or pity from me
Just the chance to do it over
To prove that she can
Oh-ho
She reads the want ads and haunts the bars
What she finds is next to nothing
She can push, but just so far
And she's tired of being that someone
At the end of the line
She wants her day in the sun forever
Not much different from you and me
She don't want sympathy, or pity from me
She wants the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
And there's no sympathy, or pity from me
Just the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
Oh-ho
She's the girl who used to be (the girl who used to be)
In the town that can't remember (the town that can't remember)
Just a face you use to see (the face you use to see)
In the town that can't remember (town that can't remember)
She's the girl who used to be (the girl who used to be)
In the town that can't remember (a face)
(You use to see) just a face you use to see (just a girl you)
(Can't remember) in the town that can't remember (just)
Can't remember (a face you-)
She's the girl (use to see)
You can't remember
She's the face (in the town)
Can't remember
(Can't remember) the girl you used to be (the face, you used to be)
Can't remember (the girl)
She's the girl you used to be (the face, that can't)
(Remember) in the town that can't remember
