Lyrics for be the girl!

I'm sure I held it off 'til last December And why I did so I cannot remember I don't have a lover, no, I've never had someone like that before And I don't have another dear to offer to the East Pacific shore I'm not so lonely when I dance in my room Still little thoughts slip in when I think of you But I don't have another dear to offer to the East Pacific shore And I don't have a lover, why would I when I have never loved before? There's a time and a place that I thought I knew But now I know I can't be the girl I used to know Even though I thought I could (Eat the apple, stupid girl) (I could never be the girl) Now past the age when we were young, wild and free Not getting caught up in what should and shouldn't be Lightning to your thunder, bringing up a storm whenever we walked by One hand in the other, making our way to our own paradise And even after all that I've been put through Deep down, I sincerely wish the best for you, whoa One hand in the other, we were running from the worries in your eyes And lightning to your thunder pierced my Heart, but then you left me high and dry Well, there's a time and a place that I thought I knew But now I know I can't be the girl I used to know Even though I thought I could There's a space that I thought I knew But now I know I can't be the girl I used to know Even though I thought I could (Eat the apple, stupid girl) (I could never be the girl) And I, one, two, one, two, three! There's a time and a place that I thought I knew But now I know I can't be the girl I used to know Even though I thought I could (there's a time) There's a space (there's a space) that I thought I knew But now I know I can't be the girl I used to know There's a time and a place that I thought I knew But now I know I can't be the girl I used to know Even though I thought I could There's a place that I thought I knew But now I know I can't be the girl I used to know (no) There's a time and a place There's a time and a place, and I can't be the girl
