Lyrics
[Intro]
She a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she a-ain't, she ain't you
[Verse 1]
You make it hard for me to see somebody else
I'm calling her your name
Yeah, it's messed up 'cause I'm thinking 'bout you
It's your fault, babe, I never wanted us to break up
No, not this way, but you don't understand it, girl
[PreChorus]
When she touches me, I'm wishing that they were your hands
And when I'm with her, it's only 'bout the sex
With you, I had a bad romance
And if I could just trade her in, I would
'Cause nobody compares to you, no, yeah
[Chorus]
I think I better let her go, 'cause I can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you (Yeah)
I wanna leave but I'm afraid, that you don't even feel the same
Afraid, the same
And now I realize, that she ain't you
No, she ain't you
[PostChorus]
Oh-oh, oh
Oh, no, no-no, no
Whoa-oh, oh
Oh, no, no-no, no, she ain't you
Whoa-oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
'Cause she ain't, no, she ain't you
[Verse 2]
I've been sleeping out for quite some nights now
It's not the same in my bed
But if she found out what's going on in my head
It'll be all bad, have me right back
But you don't understand it, girl, no
[PreChorus]
When she touches me, I'm wishing that they were your hands
And when I'm with her, it's only 'bout the sex
With you, I had a bad romance
And if I could, just trade her in, I would
And if I could, I would
'Cause nobody compares to you, no, yeah
Compares to you
[Chorus]
I think I better let her go, 'cause I can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you (Yeah)
I wanna leave but I'm afraid, that you don't even feel the same
Afraid, the same
And now I realize, that she ain't you
No, she ain't you
[Bridge]
She a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she a-ain't, she ain't you
No, she—
[Chorus]
I think I better let her go, 'cause I can't leave you alone
Hey, whoa-oh
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you, girl (Yeah)
I wanna leave but I'm afraid, that you don't even feel the same
Afraid, the same
And now I realize, that she ain't you
No, she ain't you
[PostChorus]
Oh-oh, oh
Oh
Oh, na-na-na-na
Oh, na-na-na-na-na
Whoa-oh, oh
Oh, na-na-na-na
Hey, hey, hey
Whoa-oh, oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
[Outro]
'Cause she ain't, no, she ain't you
