She by Monkees

Words and music by
Tommy boyce and bobby hart

She, she told me that she loved me,
And like a fool i believed her from the start.
She, she said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart

Why am i standing here,
Missing her and wishing she were here.
She only did me wrong;
I'm better off alone.

She, she devoured all my sweet love,
Took all i had and then she fed me dirt.
She, she laughed while i was cryin'.
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.

Why am i standing here,
Missing her and wishing she were here.
She only did me wrong;
I'm better off alone.

And now i know just why she
Keeps me hangin' 'round.
She needs someone to walk on,
So her feet don't touch the ground.
But i love her,
I need her,
I want her.
Yea! yea! yea! yea! yea! yea! she!

[instrumental]

Why am i standing here,
Missing her and wishing she were here.
She only did me wrong now;
I'm better off alone.

Why am i missing her?
I should be kissing her.
