When It Was Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ooh, no
Yeah, yeah
She's got green eyes and she's 5'5"
Long brown hair all down her back
Cadilliac truck
So the hell what
What's so special about that ?
She used to model, she's done some acting
So she weighs buck of 5
And I guess she's alright if perfection is what you like
Ooh, ooh, and I'm not jealous, no I'm not
Ooh, ooh, I just want everything she's got
Ooh, ooh, you look at her so amazed
I remember way back when you used to look at me that way
Tell me what makes her so much better than me ?
(what makes her so much better than me?)
What makes her just everything I can never be ?
(I can never be?)
What makes her your every dream and fantasy ?
Because I can't remember when it was me
And now you don't feel the same
I remember you would shiver everytime I said your name
You said nothing felt as good as when you gaze into my eyes
Now you don't care I'm alive
How did we let the fire die ?
Ooh, ooh, and I'm not jealous, no I'm not
Ooh, ooh, I just want everything she's got
Ooh, ooh, you look at her so amazed
I remember way back when you used to look at me that way
What makes her so much better than me?
(what makes her so much better than me?)
What makes her just everything I can never be
(i cam never be?)
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because I can't remember when it was me
That made you smile
That made you laugh
Even if it makes you happier than you have ever been, oh me
That was your world (me)
Your perfect girl
Nothing about me has changed
That's why I'm here wondering
What makes her so much better than me?
(what makes her so much better than me?)
What makes her just everything I can never be ?
(I can never be?)
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can't remember when it was me
What makes her so much better than me?
(what makes her so much better than me?)
What makes her just everything I can never be ?
(I can never be?)
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can't remember when it was me
When it was me
When it was me
When it was me
