Winona Lyrics

I tried to call you but the line was busy
Were you talking to a friend?
And when I tried again much later
I didn't want to let it ring again

So you can see I've got a problem
Back by popular demand
Sometimes I want to keep it from you
Sometimes I think you'll understand

Could you be my little movie star
Could you be my long lost girl
It's true that I don't really know you
But I'm alone in the world

When I think maybe I need you
I don't care if it's not true
'Cause it isn't so much what I need now
As what I want from you

Could you be my little movie star
Could you be my long lost girl
It's true that I don't really know you
But I'm alone in the world

Could you be my little movie star
Could you be my long lost girl
It's true that I don't really know you

I feel alone
I feel alone

Cover art for Winona lyrics by Matthew Sweet

I bought this album in 1991 simply because there was a song on it named "Winona." I assumed it was about my hometown of Winona, Minnesota. Unfortunately it's just Matthew crushing on Winona Ryder (who, btw was born in Winona, Minnesota.)
