Story behind the song
For a while I've been wanting to write a narrative kind of song. This really isn't it, but it's close. I had a friend told me the lyrics were rather country-ish. I don't think so. I'm quite happy with the way it turned out, which is funny considering how it was nothing like what I wanted it to be.
Lyrics
She's so perfect
But nothing ever works out for her
He's not here tonight and he won't be on any other
She's got his picture in her locket
She's got his letter in her pocket
Even though she's read it a thousand times she's not sure
It says:
"Hey, Louise - I'm sorry but I have to leave
I found someone else who loves me more
I hate to go, cause I think that I will miss you so
I only wish you've heard of this before."
And those guys
They fall around at her feet
But they can't give her what she wants or what she needs
So all those guys all say she's crazy
Putting her hopes on just a maybe
Even though she's heard it a thousand times she's not sure
He says:
"Hey, Louise - I'm sorry but I have to leave
I found someone else who loves me more
I hate to go, cause I think that I will miss you so
I only wish you've heard of this before."
All of this time I have been waiting for you
All of this time
She's so perfect
But nothing ever works out for her
