Lyrics

I let her float in my mind for a while
Give up a knowing wicked smile
I brag that she was long and lean
When making love she could get mean
In a real good way
But in my mind I say
I'll never really know for sure
Never had the nerve to talk to her

So she'll always be
The woman I don't have
Under my skin and digging in
A glimpse of a life
And what might have been
If I'd given in to
The woman I don't have

Though she may have been there for the taking
There were signs it was a big mistake
Her body put me in the mood
But something in her attitude
Let me know that she
Wasn't meant for me
I turned and walked away from her
With perfume hanging in the air

REPEAT CHORUS

Some people that I meet
Have made my life complete
But then there're the ones
Make it come undone
