Mixed Up Girl - Dusty Springfield

Ah, ha, ah

Gonna let you go my angel

Though I could make you stay

I could use my blind self-pity

Throw it in your way

But the times have turned between us

And you know I don’t believe

That it makes one bit of difference

If you stay or if you leave

Why can’t I be lonely

Like that lonely rushing river?

Pushing down a mountain

On it’s way to meet the sea

Why can’t I need somebody

Like that river needs that ocean?

Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby?

With a mixed up girl

With a mixed up girl like me, yeah

Gonna make it short now, angel

Though I could make it long

I could take through all the changes

And show you where you’re wrong

But our dreams don’t flow together

And you’ll never, never see the light

So it really, really doesn’t matter

Who is wrong or who is right?

Oh, why can’t I be lonely

Like that lonely rushing river?

It’s pushing down the mountain

On its way to meet the sea

Oh, why can’t I need somebody

Like that river needs that ocean?

Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby?

With a mixed up girl

With a mixed up girl like me, mmm, ooh, mmm, ooh
