She looked a lot like I did, so it was easy She wore painted lips and powdered eyelids But unlike me did not react Maybe she even smiled back
You must have known where this was going Was it your first time You kept playing possum, always knowing That she was going to be the one I was the girl she had become
Leaves are falling Though it's only Spring On the front lawn From the willow tree No answer You just run away And leave your shadow Under the willow tree
She was close enough to understudy And make your payday She fell into place like easy money And let your inhibitions fly Repair the tear I left inside
And she's the real thing, it's really happening....
