Girl Afraid - The Smiths

Girl afraid

Where do his intentions lay?

Or does he even have any?

She says

«He never really looks at me

I give him every opportunity

In the room downstairs he sat and stared

In the room downstairs he sat and stared

I’ll never make that mistake again»

(«I'll never make that mistake again…»)

(«I'll never make that mistake again…»)

Boy afraid

Prudence never pays

And everything she wants costs money

«But she doesn’t even like me

And I know because she said so

In the room downstairs she sat and stared

In the room downstairs she sat and stared

I’ll never make that mistake again»
