  • I happened to notice a girl, in a light shade of blue
    I happened to see her the sight of her leaves me confused

    She may not be you
    But she looks just like you
    She may not be you
    But she looks just like you

    You should've seen the way she wore her dress
    And her white stiletto shoes
    You should've seen the way they looked on her,
    Just like the ones that I bought you
    I searched for days on end to no avail 'til I found them in Peru
    She must've been to Lima just as well
    Because she had them too

    You should've seen her eyes, her lips, her face
    She looked as sweet as honeydew
    You should've seen the way she walked away
    Oh, she swayed her hips like you

    I was only several steps from her but she never noticed me
    I took another sip of fine liqueur
    It was quite a sight to see

    I happened to notice the girl in the light shade of blue
    I happened to see her the sight of her leaves me confused

    She may not be you
    But she looks just like you
    She may not be you
    But she looks just like you

    Oh, you should've seen the way he stroked her hair,
    And the smile that lit her face
    You should've seen the way he kissed her lips
    Did it have the same sweet taste?

    Though my mind it might be running wild in constant search of you
    It's funny how my eyes keep seeing things,
    My heart would not believe are true

    I happened to notice a man, in a dark shade of blue
    Who happened to be with the woman who leaves me confused

    She may not be you
    But she looks just like you
    She may not be you
    But she looks just like you

    Maxine, she looks just like you
    Maxine, she looks just like you
    Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine
