FLIRTS THE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you'd change your mind
Thought you'd never find nobody else
Then I made this final
Never thought it would be true
My new boyfriend looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He's got the same haircut
And the same tattoo he looks a lot like you
When I look in his eye, I see that one
Passionate stare like yours
When I kiss his lips, it's the very same hit
That I felt with you
Never thought it would be true
My new boyfriend looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He's got the same haircut
And the same tattoo
He looks a lot like you (wow)
Thought I'd never be the same again
Really thought I'd seen the end
Now I don't need to pretend
I've got a new friend, oh
When you went away, all I did was pray
That you'd change your mind
Thought you'd never find nobody else
Then I made this final
Never thought it would be true
My new boyfriend looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He's got the same haircut
And the same tattoo he looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He's got the same haircut
And the same tattoo
He looks a lot like you, oh
He looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He's got the same haircut
And the same tattoo he looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He looks a lot like you
He's got the same haircut
And the same tattoo he looks a lot like you
