The Monkees The Girl I Left Behind Me song lyrics

It's old enough to try and tie you down

So, I just couldn’t place and hung around

You always said that you must be free

Well you couldn’t see you were losing me

And messin' up the one good thing we had

And now I’m goin' out the same way that I came in

The game is over now, I couldn’t win

My heart is all I have to pack

And this time girl I won't be back

And years from now I’ll turn around and see

The girl I left behind me

I told myself that things would be okay

It come around to my way any day

As time went on you just stayed the same

No, you couldn’t change or be rearranged

I’m pickin' up the pieces of my life

And now I’m goin' out the same way that I came in

The game is over now, I couldn’t win

My heart is all I have to pack

And this time girl I won't be back

And years from now I’ll turn around and see

The girl I left behind me

As time went on you just stayed the same

No, you, you couldn’t change or be rearranged

I’m pickin' up the pieces of my life

And now I’m goin' out the same way. I came in

The game is over now, I couldn’t win

My heart is all I have to pack

And this time girl I won't be back

And years from now I’ll turn around and see

The girl I left behind me

Behind me, behind me
