You Remind Me
Usher · Truth Tour Behind The Truth, Live from Atlanta [2005]
But I got something to tell ya, listen
See the thing about you, that caught my eye
Is the same thing that makes me change, my mind
Kinda hard to explain, but girl, I'll try
You need to sit down this may take a while
See this girl she sorta looks just like you
She even smiles, just the way you do
So innocent, she seemed but I was fooled
I'm reminded when I look at you
you remind of a girl that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won't believe all of the things that she put me through
This is why I just can't get it with you
Thought that she was the one for me
'Til I found out she was on her creep
Ooo, she was sexing everyone, but me
This is why we could never be
You remind of a girl that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won't believe all of the things that she put me through
This is why I just can't get it with you
I know it's so unfair to you
But I'd be lingering the rest to you
Wish I knew
Wish I knew how to separate the two
You remind me, oh
You remind of a girl, that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won't believe all of the things that she put me through
This is why I just can't get it with you
