When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her 
She will turn to me and start to cry; 
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her. 
After all this time I don't know why.

Ah, girl,    girl, girl.

VERSE 3:   
 
Was she told when she was young that fame would lead to pleasure? 
Did she understand it when they said 
that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
