I’ve been wondering
Why I’m drinking
You’re so clever
But I can’t think and
Things revolving
Round my head
I can’t forget
The things you said
Such a lovely thing
She was a pretty thing
I could’ve bleached my skin
If you’d have found me there
the same.
You ain’t the same
I had a ring and
Everything and
When my friends talked it
was the wrong reason
And I had smiled
And all the skies
Were blue
They were so you
Such a lovely thing
She was a pretty thing
I couldn’t bleach my skin
You’d have found me there
The same.
You ain’t the same
All the roses
I never had
When I was good, I
Could have been bad
All I got was
This awful song
And you
Memories of you
Such a lovely thing
She was a pretty thing
I would have bleached my skin
If you’d have done
The same
You ain’t the same
(break)
Now I’m fine
That it was mine
You left me
And broke my mind
Now it’s easy
I’ve overcome
And I am smiling
That it’s not you
She was a pretty thing
I was a little thing
And I won’t bleach my skin….
Again
For you ain’t the same
She was a pretty thing
I was a little thing
And I’m not the same
I’m not the same
