Lyrics - The Girl I Knew Somewhere by Monkees

You tell me that you’ve never been this way before.
You tell me things
I know that
I’ve heard somewhere.
You’re standing in the places and you’re
Staring down through faces, that bring to mind traces
Of a girl, a girl that
I knew somewhere.
I just can’t put my finger on what it is
That says to me watch out! don’t believe her.
I can’t give any reasons girl,
My thoughts are bound down in a whirl.
I just can’t think who in the world was that girl;
I know
I met her somewhere.
Someway, somehow this same thing was done.
Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong.
Well, goodbye dear,
I just can’t take this chance again.
My fingers are still burning from the last time.
And if your love was not a game,
I only have myself to blame.
That’s as may be,
I can’t explain.
Just ask the girl that
I knew somewhere.(words and music by michael nesmith - transcribed from the monkees
