Gigi Lyrics

Gigi
Am I a fool without a mind?
Or have I nearly been too blind to realize
Oh, Gigi
While you've been growing up before my eyes
Gigi
You're not at all that funny awkward little girl I knew
No, overnight there's been a breathless change in you

Oh, Gigi
While you were trembling on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
Oh, Gigi
Have I been standing up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire?
And your warmth become desire
Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are?

When did your warmth become desire?
And your sparkle turn to fire?
Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are?
Oh, Gigi

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
