  • I couldn't resist him
    His eyes were like yours
    His hair was exactly the shade of brown
    He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell
    It was dark and I was lying down

    You are everything, he means nothing to me
    I can't even remember his name
    Why're you so upset?
    Baby, you weren't there and I was thinking of you when I came

    What do you expect?
    You left me here alone, I drank so much and needed to touch
    Don't overreact, I pretended he was you
    You wouldn't want me to be lonely

    How can I put it so you understand?
    I didn't let him hold my hand
    But he looked like you I guess he looked like you
    No he wasn't you
    But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity
    It's not cheating you were on my mind

    Yes he looked like you
    But I heard love is blind Writer/s: Amy Winehouse

  • Jennifer Shiels from LondonSong Interpretation: She persistently emphasises that it wasn't infidelity in the emotional sense. She almost presents her cheating as a credit to their relationship as it was and still is. The betrayal, although unforgiving wasn't out of spite. She was extremely vulnerable, and in her partner's absence sought the next best thing, as only him or in this case his mere resemblance could save her. The act itself didn't have any significance, she didn't give herself completely as she knew it wasn't really him, however the similarity between the two made his affection necessary. She regrets her actions but has become subconsciously aware that even ifgiven another chance, she would do the exact same thing again.
