Take Me to the Girl
She drove me far too far
And then I drove her car
The streets are long and wide
I felt I had no place to hide
My courage in a glass
Ich liebe wass ist das?
Are you my only friend?
Temptation drives me round the bend
So take me to the girl that I once knew
Does she know what I've been going through?
I've been searching for her everywhere
I think my darling's gone; I didn't care
Geneva is the city of our love
Are these voices calling from above?
Now no-one can ever take her place
No-one in the whole wide human race
Society's to blame
This picture in a frame
Picasso told me so
I guess he ought to really know
My flesh was always weak
My tango less than chic
Such grandeur took its toll
And left me here a wretched soul
So take me to the girl that I once knew
Does she know what I've been going through?
I've been searching for her everywhere
I think my darling's gone; I didn't care
Geneva is the city of our love
Are these voices calling from above?
Now no-one can ever take her place
No-one in the whole wide human race
So take me to the girl that I once knew
Does she know what I've been going through?
I've been searching for her everywhere
I think my darling's gone; I didn't care
Geneva is the city of our love
Are these voices calling from above?
Now no-one can ever take her place
No-one in the whole wide human race
And then I drove her car
The streets are long and wide
I felt I had no place to hide
My courage in a glass
Ich liebe wass ist das?
Are you my only friend?
Temptation drives me round the bend
So take me to the girl that I once knew
Does she know what I've been going through?
I've been searching for her everywhere
I think my darling's gone; I didn't care
Geneva is the city of our love
Are these voices calling from above?
Now no-one can ever take her place
No-one in the whole wide human race
Society's to blame
This picture in a frame
Picasso told me so
I guess he ought to really know
My flesh was always weak
My tango less than chic
Such grandeur took its toll
And left me here a wretched soul
So take me to the girl that I once knew
Does she know what I've been going through?
I've been searching for her everywhere
I think my darling's gone; I didn't care
Geneva is the city of our love
Are these voices calling from above?
Now no-one can ever take her place
No-one in the whole wide human race
So take me to the girl that I once knew
Does she know what I've been going through?
I've been searching for her everywhere
I think my darling's gone; I didn't care
Geneva is the city of our love
Are these voices calling from above?
Now no-one can ever take her place
No-one in the whole wide human race
