There’s a girl standing in your shoes;
With your smile like a star bright night
And your eyes of blue.
There’s a girl standing in your suit.
The imitation’s good but I know she just ain’t you.
She can swear it on the good book
But I know that it ain’t the truth.
I don’t need to look so far to find my proof
Cause when I look into those eyes
I see behind the alibis.

We both know you’re gonna leave.
It won’t come as some surprise.
I didn’t come down with yesterday’s rain
So spare me the extra grief,
Please.
Cause when I look into those eyes,
I see behind the alibis.
She’s not you.

There’s a girl and she’s got your shape
With hair like flex on a the summer’s breeze
And a look that I can’t escape.
There’s a girl and she’s got your name;
The resemblance is good, but I know she ain’t the same.
She can swear it on the grave
It’ll only bring her shame.
I don’t need to search that deep to guess her game.
Cause when I look into those eyes
I see behind the alibis.

We both know you’re gonna leave.
It won’t come as some surprise.
I didn’t come down with yesterday’s rain
So spare me the extra grief,
Please.
Cause when I look into those eyes,
I see behind the alibis.
She’s not you.

Another girl’s standing in your place
With a L’Oreal smile printed on her oh so pretty face.
Well, she’s got the style and she’s got the grace
But something’s missing that she can’t replace-
Behind her eyes there’s only empty space.

We both know you’re gonna leave.
It won’t come as some surprise.
I didn’t come down with yesterday’s rain
So spare me the extra grief,
Please.
Cause when I look into those eyes,
I see behind the alibis.
She’s not you.
