"She's As Close As I Can Get To Loving You" lyrics - GEORGE JONES

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 taught her everything 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.

She's as close as I can get to loving you
