lyrics

I met her at the wrong time
I wasn't in my right mind.
She asked if I was alright
When I kissed her on a dark night.
We ended back at her place.
Tears running down her face,
She told me she was lonely.
I said it wasn't only me,
I was living with a ghost.
Yeah living with a ghost.
I was living with a ghost
Oooh living with a ghost

I could see she was shaken
From the words I was making
And asked if I could move on
When she hadn't been gone that long.
I told her I was alright,
At least on that night.
We jumped into the deep end
But some wills just won't bend
When you're living with a ghost.
Yeah living with a ghost.
When you're living with a ghost
Oooh living with a ghost.
Yup!

She bought a new Cadillac
And that's when I turned back.
She said I didn't know diddley,
Come on baby are you kidding me?
We didn't really last long.
She could never sing my songs.
But I'll never be lonely,
'cause it's never me only.
I'm living with a ghost.
Yeah living with a ghost.
I'm living with a ghost
Ooh my baby is a ghost.
