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
