(I):
Abigail is not like the other girls - She’s kind’a hard to define
She’s real; she makes me feel – But she’ll never be mine
That won’t stop me lovin’ her – I don’t care if it’s wrong
That won’t stop me missin’ here, when I’m gone.
(II):
Eboni is like a flower – with her blossom still on the vine
And when she blooms, she lights up rooms – And she’ll never be mine
That won’t stop me lovin’ her – That’s why I wrote this song
So she’ll know, it won’t stop me missin’ here, when I’m gone.
(Chorus):
This one’s for The Girls That Got Away
I’m not keepin’ score, but there’s more, I that I could say
My runnin’ out of time – is getting closer, everyday
So this one’s for The Girls That Got Away
(III):
Elsa is magic and beautiful – Someday, she’s gonna shine
She’s so smart, she stole my heart – And she’ll never be mine
That won’t stop me lovin’ her – In my heart, she’ll always belong
It won’t stop me missin’ here, when I’m gone.
(IV):
Susan kept her promises – she let me hold her, for a time
And it was good, I knew it would – But she’ll never be mine
That won’t stop me lovin’ her – My whole life long
It won’t stop me missin’ here, when I’m gone.
(Chorus):
(V):
Ginger is a straight-up angel – She’s damn near divine
All she wants to do is the right thing – But like me, she’s runnin’ out of time
That won’t stop me lovin’ her – And god, I hope I’m wrong
I’m sure gonna miss her, when she’s gone.
(Chorus):
