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

--- Instrumental ---

You'd've prove 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

But she's as close
As I can get to loving you
