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.
[Repeat and fade last two lines]
