Alison Moyet - When I Was Your Girl Lyrics






When I was your girl
I didn't know that I would
End where you begin
More beautiful in your skin
No matter of regret
This loosening curl
Teasing you out
When I was your girl

In my room you said we'll stay here for an endless year
Close the door we're letting no one near
When I was your girl
When I was your girl

And then today
All the nightmares came my way
All the tears I tried to stay
You were never satisfied
When I was your girl
When I was your girl

And when I was she
I'd put on every coat
To wear the weather down
But even in the sun
You said you tasted rain
I watched you unfurl
You held on to me
When I was your girl

In my cups I see you watching from the edge of the bed
I'm sinking words that you never said
When I was your girl
When I was your girl

And then today
I'll be keeping out your way
Every debt they owe I pay
They were never satisfied
When I was your girl
When I was your girl

We tore out a page
Impolitely quit the stage
Into corners sweep our rage
I would never leave you crying

When I was your girl
When I was your girl
When I was your girl

  1. C.... S....

    Don't care what anyone thinks O can relate to her she rocks

  4. L.... C....

    Alison = goddess ♥️

  5. f.... ....

    Great song. I was lucky enough to see the album tour in Manchester and also to get a signed copy of the CD when it was first out. Daughter is very much like mother (and that's a good thing)

  6. D.... E....

    Listening to this song I can’t help but think of all the girls who have been victimized by Jeffrey Epstein and his sick “friends”.
    It takes on a whole different meaning.
    Heartbreaking.

  7. R.... B....

    Stunningly beautiful Chic, go hard

    Alison Moyet is one of the most brilliant female artist

  12. B.... ....

    Who are those 276 or so people ? are they deaf ?

  13. D.... ....

    It's so sad how underrated she is! She is simply AMAZING! Wonderful unique strong vocals!

  14. 8.... ....

    This should have had WAY more credit given than it was.

    8.... ....

    Credit is given by the people who make the rules.. and shit music.. aka, pretty much everything after the year 2000.. and that includes that silly cow Adele, no offence Adele.

  15. J.... B....

    The years have been very kind to Alison.

  36. C.... W....

    Posted on here a couple of months ago & it got deleted! Like the song with Alison's powerful voice as i remember it, but the rest of the album is just mediocre/ crap. So, this will probably get deleted as well. Yes, only good things are allowed

  37. S.... P....

    Excellent!!

  38. K.... V....

    у Элисон очень красивый голос, а с возрастом стал еще лучше

  39. J.... U....

    Another track I never knew about. Think I am going to buy her last two albums as all the songs from them are really good.

  40. H.... B....

    Lisen Adele and Alison are different people they both amazing and both in the same league enough said. It’s not about who’s better it’s about making good music.

  41. C.... H....

    You're still our girl Alison 😊

  42. S.... s....

    Powerfully jaw-dropping vocals.

  43. B.... B....

    Another great song. Thank You Alison x

  44. w.... f....

    Loved the Usher hall gig tremendous have a nice xmas and new year you and all your family. xx

    w.... f....

  45. B.... B....

    Great to see an Essex girls still proud of her roots and making music videos on Southend pier well done Allison

  46. B.... S....

    Just saw her last night in Toronto. This song really stood out. Heard it last night for the first time, sounded incredible live!

  47. M.... D....

    My Fav song from this album-I can;t wait to see her on Friday-Irving Plaza, NYC-any9one else going?

  48. 9.... ....

    are you kidding me , this IS alison moyet herself at 1:05 of this MV ? if true , i'll be stuck to her old MVs like ' is this love ' , ' weak in the presence of beauty ' from the 80's . >< ......

  49. J.... m....

    still in love with her x

  50. M.... ....

    I hope very her daughter follow the mother ! Very graet vocal!

  51. A.... A....

    How the hell could someone not like this song or video? It's beautiful & morose & very, very English. She's a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice...STILL. And her daughter is beautiful & has the same right somewhat lazy eye as her mother which gives her character & depth just like her mum. I hope she has half the singing talent her mum has...coz if she does...we're in for another 30 years of amazing singing & music. Thank You Alison for this amazing song & video. I think you're fab!

  52. a.... .....

    burberry lol

  53. ".... O....

    so Bowiesque in your own female original way. Very arty. you have a wonderful style - Love it

  54. j.... r....

    Always loved Alison Moyet but why compare with Adele, both unique British voices with their own strengths, just enjoy.

  55. X.... K....

    her daughter is gorgeous too

  56. G.... N....

    I always loved Alison's work since Yazoo,though I didn't really always follow her as I was more into goth rock and independent music in general.

  57. M.... ....

    fantastic song

  58. S.... A....

    Alf and 'Alf-pint! Big song!

  59. k.... ....

    Adele can kiss my ass.

  60. X.... K....

    she looks so hot, im so proud of her for her weight loss and her voice is still amazing. Loved her ever since Yazoo!!

  61. H.... Y....

    This is brilliant. Simply overwhelming. I've been a fan from Yazoo days and I thought she'd done her best work. Then she comes up with this.

  62. A.... G....

    i Love your music, since i was a little Baby, and i think i'm the only Teenager who's listening to your music the whole day 😊😊(i Love you, Alison, and Please never stop make cool Songs)

    O.... E....

    Ola Eriksson Ich auch 👍

    O.... E....

    Une bonne voix Alison!

  90. K.... V....

    Alison Moyet has been around for decades with Yaz they now call Yazoo.  She's always had an awesome voice and she's a great talent!!!

    K.... V....

    They were Yazoo in the UK. There was already a signed American band called Yazoo here in the States so they released as Yaz here.

    K.... V....

    Are You an americunt?....they have always been called Yazoo in the U.K

    K.... V....

    There is also a milkshake called YAZOO......lol

    K.... V....

    Sorry but Yazoo have always been called Yazoo, i know this for sure because they used to practice at Woodlands school Basildon in the early 80's (my kids went there then) they also did gigs at Roundacre and Sweenys in Basildon also at Raquels, Vince Clark had a flat just off of Clayhill Rd Basildon, if they were called Yaz it was only ever in the USA.

  91. B.... L....

    Adele did the ground work now it's time for Allison to cash in on it plus i would say first thought that that must be Allison's daughter anyone agree??

    B.... L....

    it is her daughter Caitlin

    B.... L....

    Alison has been around for decades.

    B.... L....

    I would hardly call it Adele doing the groundwork, Alison has been working for longer than Adele has been alive. But I do see where you find the comparison.

  92. P.... G....

    the voice just the voice

  93. f.... ....

    She's amazing, for 30 years, great Alison

  94. F.... ....

    beautiful hadn't lost anything

  95. m.... c....

    Great Alison always beautiful

  96. M.... ....

    when i could be bothered

  97. �.... �....

    Очень круто

  98. D.... R....

    this is such an affecting and great song what a storming return from Alison best album in years the top 5 and critically acclaimed the minutes

  99. T.... E....

    Alison still has it,she was fab in the 80's and those eyes are to die for.Love this.

  100. C.... L....

    if Alyson have the support of pop industry like Adele today...i dont know it will be like a beatle or a Rolling Stone..
