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 having 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 breaking down, so what could I do   I put an ad in the paper, you know I called it a steal   Then this guy came to see it and we struck up a deal      I let her slip away   Away   I let her slip away   Away      I had a thought   You know I thought it a lot   I thought I was smart   And I now I know that I'm not      I let her slip away   Away   I let her slip away   Away      [Unverified]
