She's trying to replace me but it'll never work
Just how sweet it could have been
To give a more life-like effect, oh come on
It leaves behind the bitter taste of saccharine
And every time he kisses you
'Cos every touch reminds you of
The original was so good the one you no longer own
You get the taste of saccharine
It's like a later 'Tom And Jerry' when the two of them could talk
A bad cover version of love is not the real thing
And every time he kisses you
Like 'Planet Of The Apes' on TV
It's not easy to forget me
When it's electronically reprocessed
Aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations that got it so wrong
Such great disappointment when you got him home
I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the church
And every touch reminds you of
The second side of ''Til The Band Comes In'
Bikini clad girl on the front who invited you in
Just how sweet it could have been
Like an own-brand box of cornflakes, he's going to let you down my friend
Like the Stones since the eighties, like the 'Last Days Of Southfork'
It's so hard to disconnect
