She's as Close as I Can Get to Loving You

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)



(She's as close as I can get to loving you.)



Her hair should be a little darker

And her eyes should be a deeper blue

She's not perfect but I'm happy I found her

'Cause she's as close as I can get to loving you.



She doesn't know she's being used and it would break her heart in two

If she knew that she was playing the part I planned for you

I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do

But she's as close as I can get to loving you.



You'd've proved of the way that she dresses

From her ear-rings to the style of her shoes

I taught her everything I remember

And she's as close as I can get to loving you.



She doesn't know she's being used and it would break her heart in two

If she knew that she was playing the part I planned for you

I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do

But she's as close as I can get to loving you.



She's as close as I can get to loving you...
