She's Not You
Chris Isaak Lyrics

Her hair is gold and her eyes are oh so blue
She has all the physical attributes that are typically considered attractive, but despite that, she fails to measure up to my expectations because she is not you.

She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
This girl has a great sense of humor and can always make me feel better, but despite that, she still does not match up to you.

Everything a man could want, but she's not you
Despite being the perfect girl that any man would dream of having, she does not fill the void left by your absence.

And when we're dancing, sometimes it feels the same
Occasionally, while dancing together, it feels like it did when I was with you.

I've got to stop myself from whispering your name
I struggle to not call out your name in the midst of spending time with someone else.

She even kisses me like you used to do
The way she kisses me is reminiscent of how you used to kiss me.

And it's just breaking my heart, 'cause she's not you
Though this girl may have all of the desirable qualities, it is still heartbreaking that she cannot replace the emotional connection I had with you.

Yeah it's just breaking my heart, 'cause she's not you
This statement reiterates the fact that despite everything good about this girl, the fact that she is not you is shattering my heart into pieces.
