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 a 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

[ steel - guitar ]

You would've proved of the way that she dresses

From her ear-rings right down to her shoes

I conquer everything I remember and she's as close as I can get to loving you

She doesn't know she's being used...

Yes she's as close as I can get to loving you
