Lyrics
SHE'S NOT YOU
She brings me down to the river bank
Lays out a blanket, we sip pink champagne
Whispers low, her body close to mine
I fall asleep on her; she doesn't complain.
We can fly higher than a yellow balloon sailing up to the moon
And there's a fire I can't contain when I'm gonna see her soon.
'Cause she's not you.
She wants in but I can't let her
She's not you
In a heartbeat I could forget her.
'Cause she's not you. (2X)
When I'm feeling low, and down on myself
She builds me up and gently shows me the way
Never tells me, "That's life, just suck it up,"
The way you used to do to set me straight.
I should feel finer than English bone china or 18 carat gold
She couldn't be kinder, never tells me to grow up before I get too old.)
'Cause she's not you
Late at night I call your name
She's not you
And love doesn't feel the same
'Cause she's not you (2x)
You don't know what you've lost until you say goodbye
I wish I could take back everything that made you cry.
'Cause she's not you
Late at night I call your name
She's not you
And love doesn't feel the same
'Cause she's not you (3X)
She brings me down to the river bank
Lays out a blanket, we sip pink champagne
