You don't see me with my old girl,
anymore.
You won't see me with my old girl,
anymore.
We can't get along,
Guess I must be wrong;
I've said this a million times
before.
I can't make her happy,
But I'd love someone to make her
happy,
That old girl of mine.
I just don't deserve her,
But there must be someone who deserves
her,
That old girl of mine.
You know that she's refined, just
the kind
Loves a family,
I'm the sort, who's a sport,
Want to be wild and free.
So, I can't make her happy,
But I'd love someone to make her
happy,
That old girl of mine.
I can't make her happy,
But I'd love someone to make her
happy,
That old girl of mine.
I don't appreciate her,
But there's someone who'd appreciate
her,
That old girl of mine.
You know that she's ideal, oh, so
real,
Sweet as she can be;
And I would give all to live
If she she'd be meant for me.
But I can't make her happy,
So I'd love someone to make her
happy,
That old girl of mine.
