Just a Girl Who Loved a Boy

Look at us
How far we've come
Stupid, stupid
How could I be so bloody dumb?
How could you?
How could you?

Just a girl who loved a boy
Who loved his football
And me
And I stuck by his side
Went along for the ride
I wanted him to be the best that he could be

But where does that leave me now?
Miles and miles from home
Watching all of my walls crashing down
Thinking how could I end up feeling so alone?

He said I was the girl
Who kept him real
Who put the smile on his face
He said just be ourselves
And I thought, well, who else?
Never would've guessed
How I'd feel so out of place

But tonight for one moment I shone
I thought I've made the grade
Now we're both on our way
And then suddenly all of that's gone
For his cheap night of fun
And I've no place to run

'Cos no one back home wants to hear
It isn't perfect
No one back home wants my life how it was
No one will dare to say
"Stop! He's not worth it"
'Cos I'm much more use
As their golden goose
So they'll make their excuses because

I'm meant to be that girl
Who loved a boy
And she ran away to follow her heart
Now she's living the life
A footballer's wife
Should've known how this story ends right from the start

In a headline exclusive
Guess what?
It isn't perfect
Falling down flat is just part of the deal
The harder the splash
More they'll think I deserve it
Who cares what I feel?
None of it's real

How quickly things turn

"Hi, it's Donna
Can't get to t'phone right now"

How quickly you learn

"So leave us a message after beep"

Donna
What can I say?

I know I screwed up
And I know I'm not perfect
But I'd go back tomorrow
To life how it was
I know that without you
Then none of this is worth it
Cos you're all that matters

Everything shatters

Just a girl who loved a boy
Just a boy who loved a girl
And she (He) loved me
