Mixed Up Girl Lyrics - Dusty Springfield

(Jimmy Webb) 

Ah, ha, ah 

Gonna let you go my angel 

Though I could make you stay 

I could use my blind self-pity 

Throw it in your way 

But the times have turned between us 

And you know I don't believe 

That it makes one bit of difference 

If you stay or if you leave 

Why can't I be lonely 

Like that lonely rushing river? 

Pushing down a mountain 

On it's way to meet the sea

Why can't I need somebody 

Like that river needs that ocean? 

Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby? 

With a mixed up girl 

With a mixed up girl like me, yeah 

Gonna make it short now, angel 

Though I could make it long 

I could take through all the changes 

And show you where you're wrong 

But our dreams don't flow together 

And you'll never, never see the light 

So it really, really doesn't matter 

Who is wrong or who is right? 

Oh, why can't I be lonely 

Like that lonely rushing river? 

It's pushing down the mountain 

On its way to meet the sea 

Oh, why can't I need somebody 

Like that river needs that ocean? 

Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby? 

With a mixed up girl 

With a mixed up girl like me, mmm, ooh, mmm, ooh
