When It Was Me Lyrics

She's got green eyes and she's 5'5"
Long brown hair all down her back
A Cadillac truck
So the hell what?
What's so special about that?
She used to model, she's done some acting
So she weighs a buck 0-5
And I guess that she's alright
If perfection's what you like

Ooh, ooh, and I'm not jealous, no I'm not
Ooh, ooh, I just want everything she's got
Ooh, ooh, you look at her so amazed
I remember way back when you used to look at me that way

What makes her so much better than me? (What makes her so much better than me?)
What makes her just everything that I can never be? (I can never be)
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can remember when it was me

And now you don't feel the same
I remember you would shiver every time I said your name
You said nothing felt as good as when you gazed into my eyes
Now you don't care I'm alive
How did we let the fire die

Ooh, ooh, and I'm not jealous, no I'm not
Ooh, ooh, I just want everything she's got
Ooh, ooh, you look at her so amazed
I remember way back when you used to look at me that way

What makes her so much better than me? (What makes her so much better than me?)
What makes her just everything that I can never be? (I can never be)
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can remember when it was.

(Me) That made you smile
(Me) That made you laugh
Me, that made you happier than you had ever been, oh
(Me) That was your world
(Me) Your perfect girl
Nothing about me has changed
That's why I'm here wondering

What makes her so much better than me? (What makes her so much better than me?)
What makes her just everything that I can never be? (I can never be)
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can remember when it was
What makes her so much better than me? (What makes her so much better than me?)
What makes her just everything that I can never be? (I can never be)
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can remember when it was me
When it was me
When it was me
When it was me
