You remind me of a girl that I once knew See her face whenever I, I look at you You won't believe all of the things she put me through This is why I just can't get with you Yo, I ain't seen you in a minute But I got something to tell you See, the thing

Just to see you smile I'd do anything That you wanted me to And all is said and done I'd never count the cost It's worth all that's lost You always had an eye for things that glittered But I was far from bein' made of gold I don't know how but I scraped
