[Verse 1]
She's looking in the mirror
She's fixing her hair
And i touch my head to feel
What isn't there
She's humming a melody
We learned in grade school
She's so happy
And i think
This is not cool
'Cause i know the guy
She's been talking about
Oh yeah I have met him before
And I think
What is this beautiful beautiful woman
Settling for?
[Verse 2]
She bends her breath
When she talks to him
I can see her features begin to blur
As she pours herself
Into the mold he made for her
And for everything he does
She has a way to rationalize
She says he don't mean what he do, she
She tells me he called
To apologize
She's looking in the mirror
She's fixing her hair
And i touch my head to feel
What isn't there
She's humming a melody
We learned in grade school
She's so happy
And i think
This is not cool
'Cause i know the guy
She's been talking about
Oh yeah I have met him before
And I think
What is this beautiful beautiful woman
Settling for?
[Verse 2]
She bends her breath
When she talks to him
I can see her features begin to blur
As she pours herself
Into the mold he made for her
And for everything he does
She has a way to rationalize
She says he don't mean what he do, she
She tells me he called
To apologize
