The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
The girl with the dragon tattoo
I once knew her
And so did you
She came around
When the circus
Came to town
She was happy
And she was gay
At least she seemed
That way.
Though when she
Was alone at night
He always came to her
From out of her dreams
He was a boy she once knew
A boy she met out of school
He was handsome and kind.
He told her that he loved her
And that's all she knew!
Her father told her she can't go with him
Because he is way too old for you
You are my jewel and you are free
Though with him you would never be
For he is wise to the ways of this world.
You are my innocent plucked from the sea.
Your mother's heart would break
If she knew you left with him
For she once met a boy like him
He broke her heart all the way through
Then I said come with me
Rest your heart against mine
I'll show you I'm not that boy
The boy who took it for free
You came to me 8 months later
My jewel of the sea
So I say to you again
You cannot go with him!
