Lyrics
Runs In The Family
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.
Paula's sister has legs as long as hers
Maybe a little bit longer
They're tan and shiny and newly grown
And they fit so easily on her
Paula's sister's eyes sparkle and flair
With the promise of her youth
Paula's eyes are beautiful but dark
Because they know the truth
I guess that beauty runs in the family
I guess that beauty runs in the family
It's as easy as DNA
Paula's sister has no lines on her face
Nobody's hurt her yet
Paula's smile is still devastating
But I see it less and less
She looks a lot like Paula did
When we first met
Before I wore her spirit down
And filled her with regret
[chorus]
I'm talking to her like an older brother
She's talking to me with her shoes off
She looks at me with innocence
I look away
[chorus]
