lyrics

Maybe it's the way that you wear your hair, like you're trying to put out too many fires. Maybe it's the way you wave your hands in the air; don't them pretty elbows ever get tired? Your dress is a mess that a bull in distress made in a closet full of porcelain toys. I'd usher you out, but there's something about you girl that's keeping you in my employ.

CHORUS: You remind me of her. You remind me of her. I'm gonna drink 'til I'm sure, but be that as it were, you remind me of her.

You know, this kind of thing can get ugly, living life like it's a big silver screen. But ever since the day you turned your blue eyes my way I've been rewinding the same sorry scene. Like the one about King Midas' cousin, how he stuck to everything that he touched. So Betty get ready, I'm feeling unsteady, and I've already said too much. CHORUS

Didn't somebody promise this would never happen again? Sometimes the best place to land on your face is a place your face has already been.

CHORUS
Yeah I know that's no cure, but you remind me of her.
