Where's The Girl? (Album Version)

Leiber-Stoller

Where's the girl, the canary stopped singing the moment she walked out the door

Where's the girl, the flowers are dying 'cos nobody cares any more

The canary and the poor lonely flowers miss her so very much

You can tell this apartment and I are in need of a woman's touch

On the floor there is one nylon stocking and I'm a leaving it there where it lies

Oh who'd have thought that one nylon stocking could ever bring tears to these eyes

Where's the girl who used to fix me my coffee and butter up my toast

Lord how I miss the coffee taste of her kiss

But lord what I miss the most is the girl….

Here's a dresser drawer that's filled with old hairpins, lipstick and Lord knows what

And here's a photograph taken last summer and a bottle of perfume bought

But where's the girl…. Where's the girl…. Where's the girl… Oh I need the girl…
