White Town Lyrics
"Duplicate"

I can't hear a single word you're saying
Well perhaps it's time you started using your brains
This arrangement you've made
Do you know the risk you're taking
Look I understand every pleasure needs it's pain

You know I could never compete
With someone
Whose heart is so indiscreet
You never
Know what she's going to say or do
Every time you talk to her
I lose

How can I be sure
I know you've felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you
All my life this has been my favourite dream
So you should be glad I've made it flesh for you
But now that we're here I don't like what I'm feeling
Well we've gone too far so now you've got to choose

You know I could never compete
With someone
Whose heart is so indiscreet
You never
Know what she's going to say or do
Every time you talk to her
I lose

How can I be sure
I know you've felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you

Well she looked at me
As I ran far the door
There was nothing between us any more
As I pressed the key
I could see her heart
Starting to beat
While yours had stopped

How can I be sure
I know you've felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you
