lyrics

Pleased to meet you
You look like someone
Someone I once knew

I told my good friends
All about her
How she made me so blue

I said "I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no
I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no"

We got married
She had my children
She climbed a mountain for me

And I knew she loved me
She was kind and gentle
I prayed to God down on my knees

Said "I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no
I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no"

I can see her now by the side of the street
Strumming an old guitar
Singing "Oh my love won't you travel with me?
It's been a long time and we've come so far."

Said "I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no
I'm never gonna get that girl"
