She'll Never Be Me
Britney Spears · Other Songs - Britney Spears
You know I'm one of a kind
Boy, what's this I see
This girl, she looks just like me
Blonde hair and dress too pretty
You tell me, how can this be
She knew I was the one
Who used to turn you on (yeah)
But you don't wanna talk about it
When you think you can find
Someone to fill my shoes
And you ask yourself why
She don't do the things I do
And you can't deny
That everywhere you go
You see my face
Hear my name
And it eats you up inside
You know I'm one of a kind
There'll never be another me
Can't get me out of your mind
Got lost in your own fantasy
And when you look in my eyes
Is it hard for you to realize
She'll never be me
Why can't you see it, girl
I got your identity
Whenever he's touching you
He's really thinking of me
Do you know I am the one
Who used to turn him on (ugh)
But you don't wanna talk about it
From the way you must feel
You got to be confused
And you ask yourself why
You can't do the things I do
And you can't deny
That everywhere you go
You see my face
Hear my name
And eats you up inside
You know I'm one of a kind
There'll never be another me
Can't get me out of your mind
Got lost in your own fantasy
And when you look in my eyes
Is it hard for you to realize
She'll never be me
Don't you think that she would see through you
(Don't you think that she would see through you)
But you don't wanna think about it
(But you don't wanna think about it)
You try so hard to do the things I do
But you don't wanna think about it
You know I'm one of a kind
There'll never be another me
Can't get me out of your mind
Got lost in your own fantasy
And when you look in my eyes
Is it hard for you to realize
You know I'm one of a kind
There'll never be another me
Can't get me out of your mind
Got lost in your own fantasy
And when you look in my eyes
Is it hard for you to realize
She'll never be me
