“Not Exactly” by Heather Greene

(female American singer)

I keep on seeing you in ways, All things about you start to sway, I can’t rely on my impressions, The road outside has turned away.

You’re not exactly what I wanted, You might be what I need, I’m gonna ask my lucky stars, To help me find my way back home.

Now I keep seeing me in ways, And all things about me start to sway, And I can’t rely on my reflections, The road outside has turned away.

You’re not exactly what I wanted, You might be what I need, Gonna ask my lucky stars, To help me find my way back home.

You’re not exactly what I wanted, You might be what I need, Gonna ask my lucky stars, To help me find my way back home. G L O S S A R Y

You’re not exactly what I wanted, You might be what I need, Gonna ask my lucky stars, To help me find my way back home.
