Talking all the talk that makes me feel strong
going all the places where smiles greet me
can't get it through my head
that i did nothing wrong
it would be easier if i had myself to blame
but it's pouring rain under my umbrella
Chorus:
i tried walking around,
'round these streets by myself
said "pretty girl don't look down"
but i could look no place else
the smiles, the bed, the telephone
and still i can't make him see
and i can't call this life my own
cause i'm not where i want to be
Going out with the girls on a saturday night
reaching out to strangers
so i don't feel deeply moved
yeah they're my friends and i like them alright
but they can't do the things that we used to do
so i've got to say that i miss you baby
Chorus
It's amazing how one little broken heart
can radiate so much pain
some guy looked at me and then he turned away
saw my eyes sayin' i will never fall again
Don't look down
but i could look no place else
the smiles, the bed, the telephone
still i can't make him see
i can't call my life my own
cause i'm not where i want to be
I tried walking around,
by myself
said "pretty girl don't look down"
but i could look no place else
the smiles, the bed, the telephone
still i can't make him see
i can't call this life my own
cause i'm not where i want to be
'round these streets by myself
said "pretty girl don't look down"
but i could look no place else
the smiles, the bed, the telephone
and still i can't make him see
i can't call this life my own
cause i'm not where i want to be
No, i'm not where i want to be
oh noo, no no
no, i'm not where i want to be
no, i'm not where i want to be
oh no, i'm not where i want to be
no, i'm not where i want to be
no, i'm not where i want to be
no no, i'm not where i want to be
i tried walking around,
'round these streets by myself
said "pretty girl don't look down"
but i could look no place else
the smiles, the bed, the telephone
and still i can't make him see
and i can't call this life my own
cause i'm not where i want to be
