Maxine - John Legend

I happened to notice a girl in a light shade of blue

I happened to see her, the sight of her leaves me confused

She may not be you

But she looks just like you

She may not be you

But she looks just like you

You should’ve seen the way she wore her dress

And her white stiletto shoes

You should’ve seen the way they looked on her

Just like the ones that I bought you

I searched for days on end to no avail

'Til I found them in Peru

She must’ve been to Lima just as well

Because she had them too

You should’ve seen her eyes, her lips, her face

She looked as sweet as honeydew

You should’ve seen the way she walked away

Oh, she swayed her hips like you

I was only several steps from her

But she never noticed me

I took another sip of fine liqueur

It was quite a sight to see

I happened to notice a girl in a light shade of blue

I happened to see her, the sight of her leaves me confused

She may not be you

But she looks just like you

She may not be you

But she looks just like you

You should’ve seen the way he stroked her hair

And the smile that lit her face

You should’ve seen the way he kissed her lips

Did it have the same sweet taste?

Though my mid, it might be running wild

In constant search of you

It’s funny how my eyes keep seeing things my heart

Would not believe are true

I happened to notice a man in a dark shade of blue

Who happened to be with a woman who leaves me confused

She may not be you

But she looks just like you

She may not be you

But she looks just like you

Maxine, she looks just like you

Maxine, she looks just like you
