Lyrics

I was sad and depressed.
I was lost in loneliness.
Had no fun. Had no friends,
just a lot of time to spend.
On my Friday nights I stayed at home
watching bad TV,
feeling sorry for myself despondently.

Late at night, how I cried
from this emptiness inside.
When I slept, thought would weave
into dreams of make-believe.
In the morning my alarm clock rang,
jolting me awake,
and the day ahead was more than I could take.

But all that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.
Freed my heart up and made me who I am.
Till I touched her I never gave a damn.
But all that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.

I was stuck on a course
of repression and remorse.
Had no ship. Had no crew,
just a void to go into.
All I needed was a storm to make
the metaphor complete,
'cause my sorrow was enough to sink a fleet.

Sam, I guess you've learned by now I have a crush on you.
Let me get to you somehow. That's all I want to do.
Ever since I've known you, babe, a change has taken place.
Lonely nights are gone for good. They've been replaced.
I met A Girl Named Sam.
A Girl Named Sam.

(instrumental)

Look ahead from today.
There is nothing in my way.
I can't wait, hoping for
what tomorrow has in store.
Every smile that she gives me and
a memory is made.
This is something new but I am not afraid.

But all that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.
Freed my heart up and made me who I am.
Till I touched her I never gave a damn.
But all that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.

All that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.
Freed my heart up and made me who I am.
Till I touched her I never gave a damn.
But all that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.
All that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.
