Cheap Imitation

She was just another cheap imitation of you
The mem'ry keeps me running round to last night out on the town
I met someone to chase away my blues
But her blonde hair and her blue eyes were all that live through a sunrise
She was just another cheap imitation of you
She kept saying all alone I was right and you were wrong
So I listened like a broken heart would do
But nothing turned out right cause when I saw her in the light
She was just another cheap imitation of you
[ fiddle ]
Running from your memory it's hard to hide in misery
But it's so easy to believe a love is true
So last night one more time I got out of my mind
And I won't count with cheap imitation of you
She kept saying all alone I was right and you were wrong
