John Kay - Replace the Face lyrics

Words and music by Alan O'Day

She looks kinda pretty, the music is slow

I walk up to her table and I say "hello"

I ask her to dance, and as we start to move

It's hard to keep from thinkin' that I wish she was you

My friends told me what to do in this case

Replace the face…. you know I'm tryin' to

Replace the face… but I keep seein' you

You're just a memory that I can't erase

Replace the face

We're dancin' and talking', then I take her home

She makes us some coffee and we're all alone

Now she wants to be where only you have been

And I really want to love her but I can't give in

Still thinkin' while I'm in her embrace

Replace the face

Your face makes me face what's true

That I'm with somebody else 'cause I can't have you

Your face used to make me smile

But you're not around, and now it only breaks me down

If you'd only see me, I could work this through

Good bye would be better than just waiting for you

I know I didn't fall in love with you by myself

So won't you help me now honey, let me love someone else

Don't want my heart to be a wasted space

Replace the face

Replace the face…you know I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Replace the face…but my heart's not buyin'

Replace the face…that's somethin' I can't do

Replace the face…'cause it's just you, you

Replace the face…replace it, replace it
