I saw her standing beneath the street lamp Gold beams falling down on her hair Made it look like She was wearing a halo She was surely heaven sent But I was smart enough to know Oh no, that's not what it meant She's not gonna be that girl She's gonna be what she is And what she is I want to know Like the back of my hand Not at all like I planned Nothing like what this man Thought he wanted But now I want it I saw her standing in our kitchen light The evening shadows falling on her face Made her look like Some kind of princess in a poor man's house When she smiles I think of diamonds And surely she wants out But she's not gonna be that girl She's gonna be what she is SongtexteAnd what she is I want to know Like the back of my hand Not at all like I planned Nothing like what this man Thought he wanted She's gonna stand where she stands Where she stands is gonna change Changing me in every way Filling up my nights and days She's the reason that I say Thank God I was wrong In what I thought I wanted She's not gonna be that girl She's not gonna be what you dreamed up Or the one that you've had cleaned up But now you're teamed up She's not gonna be everything you wanted So be careful how you flaunt it She's what you didn't know till you got it She's not gonna be the one who'll change you Make up new arrangements Don't you see that there's no danger She's not gonna be yours to hold forever No, not unless you let her Go with her to make things better Aus Songtexte Mania
