lyrics

I should have know when you did not come to meet me at the train
something had been changed it would not be the same again
you used to blush when I would kiss you
now you wear it so others will
I can see it shining in your new blonde hair
I can see right through that dress you wear
Don’t you try to say that it ain’t so
‘cause you know
you’re just not the girl I used to know

before the war when your hair was brown I held your hand
and that was more skin than you’d bear for any other man
when we danced I thought your heels would pierce my feet
you covered your mouth when you smiled to hide your teeth
but I know those hands have now held more than fingers
oh girl I need not linger
‘cause you can never tell me it ain’t so
you’re just not the girl I used to know

I thought I saw something in your eyes
but now I see
it was just reflection from my own

when I went to fight you said that you would wait for me
I kissed your picture every day for three long years
and now I find what you’ve become
I found out what and with whom you’ve done
I can see the meaning in your glance
I’ve seen that look in half the whores of France
well maybe back there is where I ought to go
who knows
maybe there I’ll find a girl just like I used to know
