Lyrics

I WISH YOU WERE HER

She doesn't have your eyes, but she'll never cry
If I forget that she's alive
Her little heart won't break if I stay out late,
And drag home some alibis

And when I look for love, she gives more than enough
Of what you and I'd seldom find;
I'm the luckiest guy to have her
But somehow it doesn't matter

Cause I wish you were her
Yeah, I wish you were her
You had that far away look about you
But like a fool I went the distance without you
The trip was superb;
But I miss you, old girl
Well, I'm havin' a great time baby
But you know that sometimes lately,
I wish you were her

She doesn't love like you, but she'll more than do
Cause my heart never beats alone
She may not have your touch, but I sure get a rush
When her fingers feel their way home

And her eyes aren't glued to the TV tube
When I want to turn her on;
She's got everything you didn't...
I know that I said good riddance;

But I wish you were her
Yeah, I wish you were her
You had that far away look about you
But like a fool I went the distance without you
The trip was superb;
But I miss you, old girl
Well, I'm havin' a great time baby
But you know that sometimes lately,
I wish you were her
