She's like a baby, I'm like a cat

Change me        it's not that easy 'cause

  She memorized   every pencil crayon color in the box

D                A   Bm                G
  Her blue-green eyes   complement the burnt sienna in her locks

She's at the movies, I'm on the phone;

Bm                         G7               D      
When we're separated we're never alone, but still

It's never enough, it's never enough, no it's never enough.
