Her hair should be a little darker
And her eyes should be a deeper blue
She's not perfect but I'm happy I found her
'Cause she's as close as I can get to loving you.

She doesn't know she's being used
And it would break her heart in two
If she knew that she was playing
The part I planned for you.

I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do
But she's as close as I can get to loving you.


You'd've proved of the way that she dresses
From her ear-rings to the style of her shoes
I conquer everything that I remember
And she's as close as I can get to loving you.

She doesn't know she's being used
And it would break her heart in two
If she knew that she was playing
The part I planned for you.

I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do
But she's as close as I can get to loving you...
