about

It's about a girl I had a crush on in high school. I'm sure she has no idea somebody wrote a song about her. Creepy? Of course. It's rock and roll.

lyrics

NOT MY GIRL

I'm putting life on hold 'til I get it figured out,
and find out what it's all about
to think of ways to be with her.
There's so much I've been told, like it has its ups and downs,
then while it seems I'm sitting around,
I let her slip through my fingers.
Now ooh, how I'd like to hug her.
'Funny how I love her when she isn't my woman now.
And ooh, how I'd like to squeezer her,
and what I'd give to please her, but she's not my girl.
I try to carry on and blatantly forget about
the simple fact that I'm without
the red-head of my fantasies.
But 'saw her in a bar, sapphire and matching rouge,
standing near her future groom.
Well, that lucky, little s.o.b.
'Cause ooh, how I'd like to hold her.
I wish that I had told her, and maybe she'd be my woman now.
But ooh, instead I'll never say to her
I will always stay with her, 'cause she's not my girl.

I'm livin' on the road. Growin' old alone at home
'aint got a foot-hold on my bones.
I break away from tradition.
She could've changed my plans, converting me a family man
like half my class of Nottingham.
Days of high-school revisited.
Now ooh, how I'd like to tease her
about the blood between us. Scottish runs through both of our veins.
So-ooh, it's quite a road to reach her,
a stranger and a creature who'll never be my girl.
But what I wouldn't do to her if she was my girl.
Now I just wanna' moon her cause she's not my girl.
No, she's not my girl.
