Roberta Flack
I’m the Girl
[Intro]
For reasons that my fate knows best, I saw a boy one day
With charm and manner he was blessed, he smiled my way
I loved him then, but that's old hat
I love him now, it's true
He likes me, yes, no more than that
The one he really loves is you
[Verse 1]
I am the girl that he'll meet
I am the girl that he'll look at and smile
But I am the one that he'll leave after a while
I'm the girl
[Verse 2]
I am the girl who will be
His when he finds that he's lonesome for you
With things that you're too busy to do
I'm the girl
[Bridge]
I am the girl that he calls up at 3
And I am the one who will go
I'd be so terribly happy to be
The one who says yes after you have said no
[Verse 3]
And I am the one who will wait
Wait, even sometimes when he won't appear
And I'll wait for him if the waiting takes years
Yes, I'm the girl
