What's Her Name Today? Lyrics - Elvis Costello

What's her name today? 

What's her name today? 

She could be anyone 

I might have known you'd leave her crying 

What's her name again? 

You should be ashamed 

How could you treat her so unspeakably? 

Or did you think she was a different girl? 

For as the radio played in the bedroom wall 

What was that name you called her? 

Was she the one who took away your pride 

And your reason? 

Oh, why did you decide that 

You'd punish any girl you meet 

To try and make that feeling go away?

What's her name today? 

What's her name today? 

Is her hair hanging down? 

Or maybe it's fixed with a ribbon 

Are her eyes still blue? 

Should she trust in you? 

Because it's a lonely world 

She wants to believe for a while in all the things you say 

But as the radio played in the bedroom wall 

What was that name you called her? 

Isn't her smile reminiscent of someone else? 

Well, is it or isn't it? 

Oh, why did you decide that 

You'd punish any girl you meet 

To try and make that feeling go away?

What's her name today? 

Is she going to stay 

So you can ruin her? 

And soon she'll be twisted in chiffon 

Dress her like a doll 

String her like a pearl 

She hears peals of bells, but it's hard to tell 

Now that she's hung up like a chandelier 

What's her name? 

What's her name? 

What's her name today?
