lyrics

DOPPELGÄNGER 
I drove her to the airport that day 
the kind of thing I used to do for her 
so filled with doubts about myself 
she was the only one to make me feel alright 

She sent me videos from her hotel room that night 
her naked body under water and cold light 
those things meant so much to me 
but I guess something happened overnight 

Who would have thought you'd fall so fast 
into the arms of a stranger?
I used to think that I knew you girl 
now I'm stuck with a doppelgänger 
stuck with a doppelgänger 
here she comes 
she's the Doppelgänger 

Next day she got her fancy dress on 
a working gala in faraway French town 
she said ‘I’ve met someone he's just right 
he's so special, he's way out of sight’

Was I being put to the test? 
I lost my temper and I lost my faith that night 
I said ‘Baby, do I have to worry now?’ 
she said ‘We've got bigger problems, it's alright’ 

Who would have thought you'd fall so fast 
into the arms of a stranger?
I used to think that I knew you girl 
now I'm stuck with a doppelgänger 
stuck with a doppelgänger 
here she comes 
she's the Doppelgänger 

She said ‘Baby, everything must change 
some things are crazy, these things are just strange’ 
(I said) ‘but even though we were never about romance 
do you really think you've ever given our thing a chance?’ 

Went to collect her at the airport 
the kind of thing I used to do for her 
the door opened and finally she walked out 
but I guess something was different now 

Her eyes and smile I could recognize 
I thought it had to be the same girl 
but something changed in the way she greeted me 
all of a sudden she was cold and distant 

I had to beg just to get a clue from her 
she was acting like she never met me 
she said ‘I gotta go back to my man’
it turned out she had different plans, somehow 

Who would have thought you'd fall so fast 
into the arms of a stranger?
I used to think that I knew you girl 
now I'm stuck with a doppelgänger 
who would have thought you'd fall so fast 
into the arms of another stranger?
I used to think that I knew you girl 
now I'm stuck with a doppelgänger 
stuck with a doppelgänger 
here she comes 
she's the Doppelgänger 

The Doppelgänger 
The Doppelgänger 
The Doppelgänger
