[Intro – dark piano, warm bass, theatrical atmosphere] [Verse 1 – male vocal, conversational, slightly bitter] We had our time, but not for long, My heart was broken, love went wrong. She quickly found somebody new, As if that's all she had to do. She always did just what she pleased, Got everything she thought she'd need. No troubles ever came her way, Someone else would pay and play. She kissed whoever had the cash, I couldn't let her get away with that. I tried so hard to say goodbye, But she could always change my mind. [Instrumental Break – 6 bars, dramatic build] [Chorus – emotional, expressive male vocal] Girls like her are not worth the pain, So why do I keep loving her again? Girls like her can be bought, it's true, Too bad I've got no money left for you. [Instrumental Break – 4 bars, piano and electric guitar] [Verse 2 – tender, pleading male vocal] So beautiful, so soft, so wild, Please don't leave me for that guy. His love for you is just a lie, Without you, girl, I'll slowly die. [Instrumental Break – 2 bars] [Verse 3 – storytelling, restrained, slightly ironic male vocal] I saw her again a year later, She looked away, a little shy. An old man walked beside her, She said, "I'm his wife." And still I wait for her each day, I can't forget her anyway. I walk alone where roses grew, Still dreaming she'll come back to me too. [Chorus – stronger, dramatic male vocal] Girls like her are not worth the pain, So why do I keep loving her again? Girls like her can be bought, it's true, Too bad I've got no money left for you. [Bridge – intimate, emotional, gradually building] You think she's bad, you say beware, That girls like her will never care. But she's not like the ones you know, I'd still kneel down before her throne. [Instrumental Break – 6 bars, dramatic build] [Final Chorus – powerful, passionate male vocal] Girls like her are not worth the pain, So why do I keep loving her again? Girls like her can be bought, it's true, Too bad I've got no money left for you. [Final Refrain – emotional, sustained notes] So beautiful, so soft, so wild, Please don't leave me for that guy. His love for you is just a lie, Without you, girl, I'll slowly die. [Outro – soft piano, fading male vocal]
