Take Me to the Girl

She drove me far too far
And then I drove her car
The streets were long and wide
I felt I had no place to hide
My courage in a glass
'Ich liebe', was ist das?
Are you my only friend?
Temptation drives me round the bend
So, take me to the girl that I once knew
Does she know what I’ve been going through?
I’ve been searching for her everywhere
I think my darling thought I didn’t care
Geneva is the city of our love
All these voices calling from above
Now no one can ever take her place
No one in the whole wide human race
Society’s to blame
This picture in a frame
Picasso told me so
I guess he ought to really know
My flesh was always weak
My tango less than chic
Such grandeur took its toll
And left me here, a wretched soul
So, take me to the girl that I once knew
Does she know what I’ve been going through?
I’ve been searching for her everywhere
I think my darling thought I didn’t care
Geneva is the city of our love
All these voices calling from above
Now no one can ever take her place
No one in the whole wide human race
