A girlfriend's neither gotten nor forgotten. She's never just a friend who is a girl. She doesn't wear a nameplate or a flower. You never can be certain that she's there. You're going to have to jump right off a building And probably break your ego and your neck. Nine times out of ten you'll wish you'd vanished, But one time out of ten--why, there she'll be! A girlfriend isn't something you acquire. A girlfriend is a person, not a thing. And if you leap and land next to the right one, She'll burn her image right into your heart.
