John Mellencamp - To M G (wherever She May Be) lyrics

I was watching a movie the other night on TV

The actress reminded me of you

Her attitude, the way that she smiled

She was doin' a part, girl, like you used to do

I do believe you played it better

If it wasn't better, it was just as strong

I would've called you up on the telephone that night

But somehow, girl, it's been all wrong

I heard you married a stranger

IN a horse and carriage that was covered with gold

Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in

I wonder if you feel different at all now that you're older

Hope you didn't lose that innocent laughter

Oh, God, I hope time didn't take that away

All those junior high nights underneat the front porch lights

A good Catholic girl during the day

CHORUS

Oh, oh just watching the time grow

Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing

Oh, oh just watching time grow

If I saw you today, girl, I wouldn't even know ya

Well, I know it wasn't that big of a love affair

But, boy, it sure seemed like one back then

When I parlay the memories into their proper places

I can see now we were no more than friends

Ooh, your kisses sure tasted sweet

But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen

I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol' man

As it seemed like it was to me

CHORUS
