whistle gal - Herself

She looks past herself
As Billy Joel sings
'I want you just the way you are, '
And thinks to herself,
'What a lucky girl.'

She looks inside herself
As he tells her,
'I will never control you, '
And thinks to herself,
'Now I will let you.'

She looks beyond herself
At the girl she thought she would be.
Where is she now?
She thinks to herself,
'I can still catch her.'

She looks around herself
And wonders what took her so long.
'Have I been here all along? '
And begs herself,
'Please let go this time.'
