Talking all the talk that makes me feel strong Going all the places where smiles greet me Can't get it through my head It would be easier if I had myself to blame But it's pouring rain under my umbrella
'round these streets by myself Said "pretty girl don't look down" But I could look no place else The smiles, the bed, the telephone And still I can't make him see And I can't call this life my own Cause I'm not where I want to be
Going out with the girls on a Saturday night Reaching out to strangers So I don't feel deeply moved Yeah they're my friends and I like them alright But they can't do the things that we used to do So I've got to say that I miss you baby
It's amazing how one little broken heart Some guy looked at me and then he turned away Saw my eyes sayin' I will never fall again
But I could look no place else The smiles, the bed, the telephone Still I can't make him see I can't call my life my own Cause I'm not where I want to be
Said "pretty girl don't look down" But I could look no place else The smiles, the bed, the telephone Still I can't make him see I can't call this life my own Cause I'm not where I want to be
'round these streets by myself Said "pretty girl don't look down" But I could look no place else The smiles, the bed, the telephone And still I can't make him see I can't call this life my own Cause I'm not where I want to be
No, I'm not where I want to be No, I'm not where I want to be No, I'm not where I want to be Oh no, I'm not where I want to be No, I'm not where I want to be No, I'm not where I want to be No no, I'm not where I want to be 'round these streets by myself Said "pretty girl don't look down" But I could look no place else The smiles, the bed, the telephone And still I can't make him see And I can't call this life my own Cause I'm not where I want to be
