John Mellencamp To M G (wherever She May Be)
I was watching a movie the other night on TV The actress reminded me of you Her attitude, the way that she smiled She was doin' a part, girl, like you used to do I do believe you played it better If it wasn't better, it was just as strong I would've called you up on the telephone that night But somehow, girl, it's been all wrong I heard you married a stranger IN a horse and carriage that was covered with gold Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in I wonder if you feel different at all now that you're older Hope you didn't lose that innocent laughter Oh, God, I hope time didn't take that away All those junior high nights underneat the front porch lights A good Catholic girl during the day CHORUS Oh, oh just watching the time grow Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing Oh, oh just watching time grow If I saw you today, girl, I wouldn't even know ya Well, I know it wasn't that big of a love affair But, boy, it sure seemed like one back then When I parlay the memories into their proper places I can see now we were no more than friends Ooh, your kisses sure tasted sweet But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol' man As it seemed like it was to me CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
