it wakes me up at night

and I can't get back to sleep again

well she comes in my dreams

like nothing in this world

like the ghost of a living girl

 

went to my doctor and he said

boy you gotta get over it just let her go

I says doc tell me something I don't already know

cause I can't go on living

with the ghost of a living girl

 

I know it's all in my head

pain rattling round in my brain again

I'm toss and turning in my bed

you know it's haunted

by a ghost of the living dead

 

so I got down on my knees

I said lord won't you take this away from me

I can't go on like this everyday getting worse

it ain't no fun living

with the ghost of a living girl
