A shadow of the girl I love

I hardly knew it was you

You once said that you would have no one

Now no one will ever have you

A life of hardship and disgrace

I see it written on your face

I hardly knew it was you
Custom jewels and cheap perfume

I hardly knew it was you

You have changed dear through and through
C
I hardly knew it was you

We could have lived our lives together

But your heart had a mind all its own

What a pity what a shame

I don't know who's to blame

But I hardly knew it was you
