Viewing lyrics for Looking the Other Way by Sidewalk Labs.

You were the most beautiful girl that I'd ever seen
But what does that mean
You were a place in every heart that looked at you
But what does that do
Ask me not a million questions
Or I'll tell you a million lies
Ask her not her preferences
If you don't want her replies
She was the echo of a man's desiring dream
So it would seem
She was the answer to the question what to do
If it were true

All the times I looked at you
You were looking the other way
When I saw your mirror eyes
I didn't know what to say
I couldn't believe it
Couldn't believe it
Why can't you follow the rule
Instead you leave me feeling like a fool
Look at her they say
That's what she does
She's looking the other way

How can the most beautiful girl that I've ever known
Look at her own
How can the place in every heart fulfilled by you
Be of the place, too
I can't see how it could be
It seems like such a lie
And now I know your preference
But I don't like your reply

All the times I looked at you…
