Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh so blue
She’s all the things a girl should be,
but she’s not you.
She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She’s ev’rything a man could want,
but she’s not you.
And when we’re dancing
It almost feels the same
I’ve got to stop myself from
Whisp’ring your name
She even kisses me like you used to do.
And it’s just breaking my heart
‘cause she’s not you.

She don’t hear me when i think her name
She don’t see what you could look right through
All she really does is make me blue
She’s not you
She don’t hold a candle to the stars
She don’t hold the pink up to the blue
She don’t hold my horses the way you do
She’s not you
She’s not you
No matter what she do
(she’s not you)
I love her too
But she’s not you
Diamonds shine like starlight next to glass
Moon light shines like silver in the dew
It doesn’t matter what you compare her to
She’s not you
She’s not you……
Evening was a shimmer in your hair
Time was just a button on your gown
Many’s the torture i’m going through
She’s not you
(d. jones / r. crenshaw)
My girl betty she’s always into something new
She says lay here beside me until the darkness is through
She’s got a secret but i could never find a clue
She’s got everything i need and i want
But she’s not you
Well my downtown lady now she really gets around
She says she’s gonna take me with her
And we’re going out tearin’ up the town
She don’t mind living in daydreams
I’ve never seen her blue
She’s got everything i need and i want
But she’s not you
She’s not you (x3)
