Am7Don't you know you've got your Emdaddy's eyes?
Your Dm7daddy was an alcoAmholic
But your mother kept it all inside
She threw it all away

I was looking for another you
I found another war
I was looking for another you
And I looked round, you were gone

And the singer won't get in our way

But your mother kept it all inside
She threw it all away
I was looking for another chance
To see your blue eyed problem
