The Same Perfume As You

They said my leg must be hollow The way I poured back the beers I felt no use for living And I hadn't for years So I filled my empty with bourbon Which left no room for the truth Till along came a woman Who wore the same perfume as you It's like a reminder That lingers light in the air You had all that I want It's like you're standing right there Sometimes I feel broken I guess that's just an excuse It's not fair to compare Your body and hair But she wears the same perfume as you It's like they bottled up heaven To bring me back to hell I can't help my senses Have me under this spell What slipped through my fingers Is what no man would choose But I found your replacement Who wears the same perfume as you It's like a reminder That lingers light in the air You had all that I want It's like you're standing right there Sometimes I feel broken I guess that's just an excuse It's not fair to compare Your body and hair But she wears the same perfume as you So let my confession tell Nobody wears it as well The same perfume as you
