You Remind Me
Mandy Moore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I first saw you I couldn't believe
The way you smiled took the breath out of me
And maybe I'm seeing things
But if it's true don't wake me up from this dream

You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so real it must be deja vu

You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy I'm so glad I found you

I never thought I could love again
Then you came and changed something within (I'm so confused)
I'm so confused 'case you're not the same
But there's something special that reminds me

It's the way you walk and
The way you talk and
You really got style
It's the way you move and
The way you groove and
I love your smile (I love your smile)

You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so real it must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy I'm so glad I found you

Bridge:
I, I cannot figure out
I ain't got a clue
I'm so confused about how I feel
Cause I'm really feelin' you

It's the way you walk and
The way you talk and
You really got style
It's the way you move and
The way you groove and
I love your smile (I love your smile)

You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so real it must be deja vu
You remind me

But I ain't got a clue
Boy I'm so glad I found you
