Lyrics

I once knew a girl in new york city
I’m not sure she was ever real
We’d meet at bars every so often
She’d point out wives I should steal

Mighta been we were best of friends
Mighta been we never were
Seemed like she was always distracted
Nothing mattered much to her

I told her once I was trying to impress her
I was putting on a show
She took me by the hand, patted my cheek
All she said was, “I know.”

Never knew how easy it could be
To lose touch over the years
Ain’t nothing to it; you just stop talking
And a human being disappears

I think I knew a girl once in New York City
I hope she’s found someone, and all the rest
It’s no surprise that I can’t explain
Some fool in love is never at his best
