You Remind Me

Usher · Truth Tour Behind The Truth, Live from Atlanta [2005]

Yo, I ain't seeing you in a minute

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
