Lyrics

Hey there, Georgy girl - There's another Georgy deep inside. Bring out all the love you hide - And, oh, what a change there'd be

• Hey there, Georgy girl
  Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
  Nobody you meet could ever see
  The loneliness there
  Inside you.

• Hey there, Georgy girl
  There's another Georgy deep inside
  Bring out all the love you hide
  And, oh, what a change there'd be
  The world would see
  A new Georgy girl.

• Hey there, Georgy girl
  Dreamin' of the someone you could be
  Life is a reality
  You can't always run away.

  Don't be so scared of changing
  And rearranging yourself
  It's time for jumping down from the shelf
  A little bit.
