Rona Williams - I Knew a Girl Lyrics

I knew a girl whose name might as well have been regret
And she walked on eggshells everywhere she went
She had a tattoo on her stomach done by her ex-best friend
It had the lyrics to a love song she'd soon forget

I knew a girl who knew a guy who said he knew the secret of life
When I asked him what it was he said
"What's the point in saying if we're all gonna die"

I don't know the reason why I'm writing this song
All these people, they've left me now
They are all gone

And I knew a girl who was seventeen when she asked me if I wanted a smoke
And I was thirteen and very keen but I'd been taught to just say no
So she shrugged her shoulders and puffed away on a cigarette on her own
While she talked under her breath about taking out her student loans

I don't know the reason why I'm writing this song
All these people they've left me now
They are all gone

Why does it seem like everyone I ever meet
Ends up becoming someone I only used to know
