I Met a Girl

I Met a Girl - The Shadows

I met a girl once I thought she was the one for me

I was so taken by her personality

I met a girl once who took my heart and love away

She looked an angel vision walking through the day

I took her to parties bought her everything I could

I treated her just like a queen

I told her I loved her marry her I said I would

Didn't realize just what a fool I've been

I met a girl once she did me wrong behind the back

Then when I've found out I felt like my heart would crack

I met a girl once she taught me what I had to learn

That if love's cruel broken hearts are what you learn

I took her to parties bought her everything I could

I treated her just like a queen

I told her I loved her marry her I said I would

Didn't realize just what a fool I've been

I met a girl once she did me wrong behind my back

Then when I've found out I felt like my heart would crack

I met a girl once she taught me what I had to learn

That if love's cruel broken hearts are what you learn
