Hank Locklin - She's As Close As I Can Get To Loving You lyrics

Her hair should be a little darker

And her eyes should be a deeper blue

She's not perfect but I'm happy I found her

'Cause she's as close as I can get to loving you.

She doesn't know she's being used

And it would break her heart in two

If she knew that she was playing

The part I planned for you.

I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do

But she's as close as I can get to loving you.

You'd've proved of the way that she dresses

From her ear-rings to the style of her shoes

I conquer everything that I remember

And she's as close as I can get to loving you.

She doesn't know she's being used

And it would break her heart in two

If she knew that she was playing

The part I planned for you.

I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do

But she's as close as I can get to loving you...
