As I Tried To Breathe Through The Strength Of Your Perfume

As I tried to breathe through the strength of your perfume,

you were checkin' out the others to see what they had on you.

You made sure all were lookin' when you kissed me on the cheek,

you're good at lendin' out affections, honey, but you never give them to keep.

I read you like a book, girl, the very first time we meet.

You're plot had no surprises and you're characters weren't the best.

You use to be young enough to watch your shadow dance.

Then you grew a little bit older girl, you were huntin' for some romance.

When I came across you, you were half way up your hill,

You worried 'bout the other side and who was gonna pay the bills.

I read you like a book, girl, the very first time we meet.

You're plot had no surprises and you're characters weren't the best.

You seem to know the reason why I keep on hangin' 'round.

I wish that'ld tell it to me mamma, it's startin' to get me down.

Fore I've seen a lot of pretty woman as they pass me by,

But, damn it, I don't understand why I'm stickin' by your side.

I read you like a book, girl, the very first time we meet.

You're plot had no surprises and you're characters weren't the best.
