He's Not There lyrics

Well, no one told me about him,

the way he lied.

Well, no one told me about him,

how many people cried.

And it's too late to say you're sorry.

How should I know? Why should I care?

Please don't bother tryin' to find him.

He's not there.

Well, let me tell you 'bout the way he looked,

the way he acts and the colour of his hair.

His voice is soft and cool.

His eyes are clear and bright.

But he's not there.

Well, no one told me about him.

What can I do?

Oh, no one told me about him, 

everybody knew.

And it's too late to say you're sorry.

How should I know? Why should I care?

Please don't bother tryin' to find him.

He's not there.

Well, let me tell you 'bout the way he looked,

the way he acts and the colour of his hair.

His voice is soft and cool.

His eyes are clear and bright.

But he's not there. 

Let me tell you 'bout the way he looked,

the way he acts and the colour of his hair.

His voice is soft and cool.

His eyes are clear and bright.

But he's not there.  

It's too late to say you're sorry.

How should I know? Why should I care?

Please don't bother tryin' to find him.

He's not there.

Well, let me tell you 'bout the way he looked,

the way he acts and the colour of his hair.

His voice is soft and cool.

His eyes are clear and bright.

But he's not there.  

Ooh, he's not there.

Ooh, he's not there.

No reason to look for him.

Looked around and he wasn't there.

Tried to come this way

and I looked around and he wasn't there.

He's not there.

No, he's not there.
