"Claire Monet" lyrics

"Claire Monet," I heard someone say
It's been so long since the last time I heard her name
I learned a lot from her
Yeah, she was singular
Then one day she got married
That's the last we saw of her

I can't remember her face at all
And I don't know why
But Claire Monet, I miss you

Claire Monet went away
I don't know how she could give up that lovely name
She was so slick
And I feel sick
When I think about her playing house and raising kids

I'd rather think of her the way she was
Maybe that's why
Claire Monet, I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

The funny part of it all
Is I didn't know her at all

Claire Monet had lots to say
And I just can't imagine her all old and gray
She didn't need a man
Maybe it was her plan
But if she couldn't go on being Claire Monet, who can?

I get the feeling she just withered away
Maybe that's why
Claire Monet, I miss you
Claire Monet, I miss you

I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
Hey!
