Like many songs, this one is about a girl
This one is perfect for me in every sense
She's funny, she's smart, good taste in music
Our talks are ever so enjoyably intense…
Yet she can't bring herself to ask me what's wrong
She says she's asking for a friend because I'm a stranger
We have lost contact for oh so many years
But I've never quite forgotten how it felt to be near her
Whеn I was alone she conquerеd all of my fears
And when I was dead inside she wiped away my tears…
I didn't quite see that she'd have fallen for me
She was always there until I turned her away…
Standing at the brink of loneliness
Never really quite sure what to do
How different things could've been with a kiss
For love was all that she ever knew
All I should've known was her...
And despite never admitting to myself
I did love her and that she was my world
I instead left her alone and put her upon the shelf...
Missing the Cockney Girl, oh yeah
I'm just missing the Cockney Girl…
I really miss the Cockney Girl…
I see you’re engaged and are pregnant with a child
And a domestic life has stopped you from being mine
I couldn't believe it when I heard this news
But if you're happy, I can not blame you
If only I'd said, “I don't want to be just friends
If you want, I'll come back for you in the end…"
I guess this is goodbye, I need to move on
It's just these days I find my-self too lonely to have won
That freedom some men long for when marrying too young
If I'm in Romford we should meet up as old chums
This one is perfect for me in every sense
She's funny, she's smart, good taste in music
Our talks are ever so enjoyably intense…
Yet she can't bring herself to ask me what's wrong
She says she's asking for a friend because I'm a stranger
We have lost contact for oh so many years
But I've never quite forgotten how it felt to be near her
Whеn I was alone she conquerеd all of my fears
And when I was dead inside she wiped away my tears…
I didn't quite see that she'd have fallen for me
She was always there until I turned her away…
Standing at the brink of loneliness
Never really quite sure what to do
How different things could've been with a kiss
For love was all that she ever knew
All I should've known was her...
And despite never admitting to myself
I did love her and that she was my world
I instead left her alone and put her upon the shelf...
Missing the Cockney Girl, oh yeah
I'm just missing the Cockney Girl…
I really miss the Cockney Girl…
