Should've known it was you Knocking on my door At a half past a heartache, quarter to four Were you starting to worry I was finally getting over you? I almost forgot you looked so fine If you told me some lies it'd be like old times Just getting to see you is almost worth the things you do You're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart You look so good but the way things look ain't the way the are Better say goodbye before we go too far Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart I've got to admit you've got a smile That really reeled me in for a while But it ain't funny, honey what you put me through So why don't you send me your photograph? It would hurt a lot less than taking you back Then I could still have my favorite part of you You're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart You look so good but the way things look ain't the way the are Better say goodbye before we go too far Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart You're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart You look so good but the way things look ain't the way the are Better say goodbye before we go too far Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart
