I know a girl from a nowhere town
She loves no-one more than me
She likes to pretend and to make believe
For as far as the eye can see

And I was her man but I done her wrong
And if you'd seen what I've seen a million times before
It'd make your heart stand still
And I was her man but I done her wrong
But if you live a sound life abstinent and wise
It makes your heart stand still anyway

I know a girl comes from nowhere town
She gives me everything I need
Sometimes things work out just like you dreamed
Inside the window steams
Outside freezing grey, broad daylight, freezing grey

I was her man but I done her wrong
And if you'd seen what I'd seen a million times before
It'd make your heart stand still
Well I was her man but I done her wrong
But if you live a sound life abstinent and wise
It makes your heart stand still anyway
