if u had a sister...

I started a new day job not long ago, and well it's put a damper on my flirting. Every single girl in my office is either married or VERY committed. Well, that's not to say that there aren't some attractive girls in there. I guess this is just me venting out that emotion.

if u had a sister...
John D. Parker

It seems I've got a habit, for wanting what I can't have.
And that diamond on your finger shows further evidence of that.
But the moment I first laid eyes on you, I felt it instantly.
That if you were available, I'd want you to be with me.
But anything that can be stolen, can be stolen away again.
So I guess my role with you will just be as a friend.

But if you had a sister, I would want her number.
I would want her to be your twin in identity.
The way you look when you smile at me, the way your soul makes me feel.
I'd want her to be just like you.

Now I know there's no replacement, and I don't believe in displacement.
So I guess i'll just curb my feelings... Kick them to the curb.
Cuz anything that can be stolen can be stolen away again.
So I guess my role with you will just be as a friend.

repeat chorus

GEEZ, life isn't fair, giving you those fiery eyes and long dark hair.
Then putting you away with someone else, before we ever could have met.
