Lord, she was tall, her hair dark as midnight
But she had a way and just like you do
And though I've loved you, and the trust we shared
But she had a way and just like you do
She looked to me through the cold night air
To make me feel just like a woman should
That I don't need you and there's nothin' more to say
Back in Galveston beneath Georgia moon
And thoughts of you kicked on inside my head
And I was countin' change for cab ride back to bed
You can't call it cheatin' she reminds me of you
But it was early and I had my share
You can't call it cheatin' 'cause she reminds me of you
A moment's weakness shouldn't change the fact
Well, she was tall, her hair dark as midnight
Lord don't tell me that I've thrown it all away
To make me feel just like a woman should
Well, I was thinkin' about the nights we spent
