i once had a girlfriend 

but then one day she dumped me 

and everywhere i go 

people would ask me 

where she was 

i don't want to talk about her 

someone always asks about her 

so i tell them all my girlfriend's dead 



i say its leukemia 

or sometimes bulimia 

or a great big truck ran her 

over and chopped off her head 

i don't want to talk about her 

someone always asks about her 

so i tell them all she's dead 



i guess theres a part of me 

that likes the sympathy 

or the looks on their faces 

when i tell them how she passed away 

i don't want to talk about her 

someone always asks about her 

so i tell them all she's dead 



my girlfriend's dead 

my girlfriend's dead you see 

its a total lie 

but its easier on me 

than having to admit 

that she likes someone else 

my girlfriend's dead 

my girlfriend's dead you know 

please change the subject 

im going to go 

jump off a building 

and join her in heaven 



i don't want to talk about her 

someone always asks about her 

i don't want to talk about her 

someone always asks about her 

so i tell them all my girlfriend's dead
