about

Have you ever been mistaken for your ex's current significant other? Has this ever happened to you three times in one night? Then this song is for you. (You can still enjoy it even if this doesn't apply to you).

lyrics

I was chastened; I was warned
By another lover, scorned
But you held me close, and softly so
And so, unheeded did they go
Not sure I know what I would give
To have never known such pain as this
Was I just a cheap imitation of what you once knew?
I see clearly now that we’re through
We’d never really begun
I guess I just wasn’t enough
And it was just a cheap imitation of love
I knew better, or so I said
Wrote you a letter I’m glad you never read
‘Cause I was just a cheap imitation of the girl you loved
I see now what a fool I was
And it was just a cheap imitation of love, love, love
It was just a cheap imitation of love, love, love
It was just a cheap imitation of love
