The Girl I Left Behind Me [first Recorded Version] Lyrics - Monkees

It's old enough to try and tie you down 

So, I just couldn't place and hung around 

You always said that you must be free 

Well you couldn't see you were losing me 

And messin' up the one good thing we had 

And now I'm goin' out the same way that I came in 

The game is over now, I couldn't win 

My heart is all I have to pack 

And this time girl I won't be back 

And years from now I'll turn around and see 

The girl I left behind me

I told myself that things would be okay 

It come around to my way any day 

As time went on you just stayed the same 

No, you couldn't change or be rearranged 

I'm pickin' up the pieces of my life 

And now I'm goin' out the same way that I came in 

The game is over now, I couldn't win 

My heart is all I have to pack 

And this time girl I won't be back 

And years from now I'll turn around and see 

The girl I left behind me 

As time went on you just stayed the same 

No, you, you couldn't change or be rearranged 

I'm pickin' up the pieces of my life

And now I'm goin' out the same way. I came in 

The game is over now, I couldn't win 

My heart is all I have to pack 

And this time girl I won't be back 

And years from now I'll turn around and see 

The girl I left behind me 

Behind me, behind me
