Girlfriend in a coma, I know I know, it's serious Girlfriend in a coma, I know I know, it's really serious There were times when I could 5 Have murdered her But you know, I would hate Anything to happen to her No, I don't want to see her Do you really think 10 She'll pull through Do you really think She'll pull through Do ooh ooh ooh Girlfriend in a coma, I know 15 I know, it's serious My, my, my, my, my, my baby, goodbye There were times when I could Have strangled her But you know, I would hate 20 Anything to happen to her Would you please Let me see her Do you really think She'll pull through 25 Do you really think She'll pull through Do ooh ooh ooh Let me whisper my last goodbyes I know, it’s serious 30

Facts

“Morrissey's sexually has been a matter of conjecture for many years, so it is even debatable whether the "girlfriend" referred to in this song is his own.”
