Someone Who Looks Like You

I was worried when you left, I thought that you were gone
But I forgot the night is darkest just before the dawn
I thought I couldn't live without you, I thought that I would die
But I had one alternative, so I gave that a try

I called up my local paper and I took out an ad
I told them all about you and about the times we had
My standards they were pretty strict, my standards they were high
So I was pleasantly surprised when I got a reply

I found someone who looks like you
She does the things that you used to do
She knows everything you knew
I still love you, but honey, I love her too

She has your hair, she has your eyes, she even has your name
And if you weren't in different places, I'd swear you were the same
You know that I still love you, and you know that I still care
But I'd rather have the you who's here than the you who's there

I found someone who looks like you
She does the things that you used to do
She knows everything you knew
I still love you, but honey, I love her too

Even if you came back to me
I don't know who I'd choose
I guess I'd have to flip a coin
There's no way I could lose

She's the woman of my dreams, just the way you were
And everything I loved about you I now love about her
I hope you don't feel anger and I hope you don't feel hate
I hope you find someone like me so we can double date

I found someone who looks like you
She does the things that you used to do
She likes the same things that made you glad
She has everything you had
She says the things that you used to say
She weighs the same as you used to weigh
She knows everything you knew
I still love you, but honey, I love her too
