The Word Girl Lyrics

Scritti Politti The Word Girl

To do what I should do
To long for you to hear
I open up my heart
And watch her name appear

A word for you to use
A girl without a cause
A name for what you lose
When it was never yours

The first time baby that I came to you
I'd do things that you want me to

The second time baby that I came to you
Oh you found my love for you

The third time baby that I came to you
Oh, oh, oh, I knew

The last time baby that I came to you
Oh how your flesh and blood became the word

The name the girl outgrew
The girl was never real
She stands for your abuse
The girl is no ideal

It's a word for what you do
In a world of broken rules
She found a place for you
Along her chain of fools
