I used to know the perfect blonde
with a smile as wide
as a riverside
She could turn the moonlight on
like a shining light
on a midnight ride
In the end I let her go
She was never kind
with what was on her mind
Guess it only goes to show
that we sometimes find
love ain’t blind
And I said, ‘Looks don’t mean that much to me’
only now I see
I’m a liar
God in heaven give me reprieve
’cause I don’t believe
there is anything higher
I got with this flaming redhead
She never let me down
when she come around
Blazing like an Arctic sunset
going on and on
from dusk to dawn
She left me in the wintertime
and the irony
didn’t rust on me
Said, ‘stick it where the sun don’t shine’
such a symphony
of sympathy
And I said, ‘Looks don’t mean that much to me’
only now I see
I’m a liar
God in heaven give me reprieve
’cause I don’t believe
there is anything higher
