#Suggestions and corrections are always welcome!
Georgie grew to hate her name
It sounded
like a tiny man
And the one she had said "I Can't see you
is
But I'll call you, whenever I can!
Sometimes the phone would ring,
When
she was half asleep
A voice would drag her down
With its suggestions
Though she
often felt cheated,
She never felt cheap
Well heaven
know what fills the heart
And makes you feel so alive
It's impossible to tear apart
Georgie and her rival
It was half-past february
And he hadn't called since New Year's day
Maybe
he'd found another woman
is
To say
those word no chapel girl should say
Her mother would
phone
And always keep her talking
She'd try to be polite
Making faces
But somewhere in the back of her mind
Her rival was
stalking
Well heaven know what fills the heart
And makes you feel so alive
It's impossible to tear
apart
Georgie and her rival
Her
rival would always wait
'Til the eighth or
nineth bell
He'd be desperate anyway and
Drunk
as well
She always like to
hurt him to prove he was prepared
To love
her anyway that she wanted
So she could
tell - which she preferred
He sat up with his adressbook
Trying to think what mood he's in
His finger
traced past Georgie's name
To someone who
needed less persuading
He didn't hear
through her disguise
He didn't leave her in a
rush
Just like the promise that he left
On her machine that always made her
blush
The radio plays a lover's
symphony
"The number you
have dialed has been re-directed"
Now she puts
him on the speaker-phone
Whenever she has company
Well heaven know what fills the heart
And makes
you feel so alive
It's impossible to tear apart
Georgie and her rival
