Seventies Girl Lyrics - Freedy Johnston

Down from the attic in your old things 

My new girlfriend has a curious streak 

Half lit in the hall, she's like you 

Twenty years ago 

Clothes from a case you'd thrown at me 

Orange, yellow, red and chartreuse green 

Way back in the day, I lost you 

Don't tell me here we go again 

Seventies girl, don't come any closer 

There's gonna be trouble tonight 

You're not staying over 

Hey there, seventies girl 

Never should have showed her 

You wanna be older than you were 

She was transcendental then 

Her beautiful eyes through your rose specs 

Way back, in the day, I loved you 

Or something like it anyway 

Seventies girl, you've been taken over 

You never had a cradle to rock 

Now you wanna go there 

Hey there, seventies girl 

Never should have told her 

You wanna be older than you were 

We fell apart just like that dress 

Then taught ourselves unhappiness 

I don't recall much, I confess 

But wonder where she's gone 

Seventies girl, don't come any closer 

There's gonna be trouble tonight 

You're not staying over 

Hey there, seventies girl 

Never should've showed her 

You wanna be older than you were
