Lyrics
edit
- Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there
Inside you.
- Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see
A new Georgy girl.
- Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreamin' of the someone you could be
Life is a reality
You can't always run away.Don't be so scared of changing
And rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf
A little bit.
