I remember when my heart caught the fever You were standing all alone in the summer heat I was with my boyfriend, new boyfriend He was as sweet as he could be One look at you and I was through My heart switched up on me Like a postcard from Paris When I've seen the real thing It's like finding out your diamond Was from her old promise ring Coming back from your fortune teller She read your cards upside down The meanest thing you ever did is come around And now I'm ruined (I'm ruined) In the evening you can catch me daydreaming Did that moment send you reeling just like me I should've gone over, right over I should've never let you leave But it's the never knowing that keeps this going And drives me crazy Like a postcard from Paris When I've seen the real thing It's like finding out your diamond Was from her old promise ring Come back from your fortune teller She read your cards upside down The meanest thing you ever did is come around Just when I thought things were alright My eyes played tricks on my mind Will I ever be satisfied 'Cause all I ever seem to find Is a postcard from Paris When I need the real thing It's like finding out your diamond Is from an old promise ring Come back from your fortune teller She read your cards upside down The meanest thing you ever did The cruelest thing you ever did The meanest thing you ever did is come around I am ruined I'm ruined I am ruined, yeah I am ruined, yeah
