About She Doesn't Live Here Anymore

"She Doesn't Live Here Anymore" is a song by Roxette, released as the third and final single from their greatest hits compilation Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus! Roxette's Greatest Hits (1995). The song had originally been written and recorded for the duo's 1994 studio album Crash! Boom! Bang! but, according to Marie Fredriksson, that version "sounded really tired", and has yet to be released. It was later re-recorded in July 1995 with members of Per Gessle's former band Gyllene Tider. It is the only song in Roxette's discography to not be produced by Clarence Öfwerman. "She Doesn't Live Here Anymore" was only released in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, peaking at number 86 on the German Singles Chart. The single included two remixed versions of "The Look" as b-sides. Its music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund.

We grew up together, 
we've been here forever. 
Barefoot in the summer, 
cold in stormy weather. 
She taught me all there is, 
like magic and love, 
lots of forgotten words.

But now, 
she doesn't live here anymore. 
She's off and she's gone, 
she doesn't live here anymore. 
I'm sorry that's all there is to it, 
I'm sorry that's all.

She dressed just like a painter, 
a female street Picasso and I, 
I will remember the heaven in her laughter.
And the scent of her sweet perfume 
when we made love under an August moon 

But now, 
she doesn't live here anymore. 
She's off and she's gone, 
she doesn't live here anymore. 
I'm sorry that's all there is to it,
I'm sorry that's all. 

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone, 
she doesn't live here anymore
She's gone since long, so long, 
she doesn't live here anymore. 
She took off and left home, 
She doesn't live here anymore. 
I'm sorry that's all there is to it, 
I'm sorry that's all.
That's all.
