Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go on and close your eyes
Go on, imagine me there
She got similar features
With longer hair
And if that's what it takes
To get you through
Go on and close your eyes
It shouldn't bother you
[Verse 2]
You never had to wait for nothin' in your life
I guess wanting me must've been a steel blue knife
And when night after night the scent of passion would linger
You had to have the jewels wrapped around you finger
Now you keep runnin' down the road
In your midnight state of mind
Curiosity kills if you can't read the signs
[Verse 3]
Go on and close your eyes
Imagine me there
She got similar features
With longer hair
And if that's what it takes
To get you through
Go on and close your eyes
It shouldn't bother you
[Verse 4]
Dancin' with the wall makes you bitter and sweet
There ain't much you can do
When they just lay it at your feet
But could you tell by the song? I wanted to be the one
Did you listen again when the damage was done?
Now the paint's still wet in your do-it-by-number dream
Where you gonna tell me how it felt?
Will you tell me what it means?
[Verse 5]
Go on and close your eyes
Go on, imagine me there
She got similar features
With longer hair
And if that's what it takes
To get you through
Go on and close your eyes
It shouldn't bother you
[Verse 6]
Was it want with no desire?
Was it smoke with no fire?
Did I say it doesn't rip me apart? I lied
I'm sorry, dear, my hands are tied
[Verse 7]
Go on and close your eyes
Go on, imagine me there
She got similar features
With longer hair
And if that's what it takes
To get you through
Go on and close your eyes
It shouldn't bother you
[Verse 8]
Close your eyes
Imagine me there
She got similar features
With longer hair
And if that's what it takes
To get you through
Close your eyes
It shouldn't bother you
[Verse 9]
It shouldn't bother you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it shouldn't bother you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it shouldn't bother you
It shouldn't bother you
