Lyrics of
Shes Not There

Shes Not There was written by Rod Argent and recorded by The Zombies. It is notable for being The Zombies debut song and their first hit, achieving success in both the UK and the US in 1964. The song was inspired by Argents break-up from a relationship and is distinguished by its melancholic melody and the innovative use of jazz chords and electric piano.

Well, no one told me about her, the way she lied
Well, no one told me about her, how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care?
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd acted and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
Well, no one told me about her, what could I do?
Well, no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care?
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd acted and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care?
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd acted and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
