Once I knew this girl
She played her part
She rocked my world
She broke my heart
One day she vanished without trace
He took my place
He had a face like Chevy Chase
-----------------------------------------
Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase, you know he looked like Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase, he had a face like Chevy Chase
Well I could spend my life in search of her, but I see no disgrace in losing
Someone that you love to someone who looks like Chevy Chase
-----------------------------------------
And now the nights get long
The nights get cold
The seconds pass
So very slowly
Each night waiting by the phone
Each night alone oh yeah, but
Once I knew this girl
She played her part
She rocked my world
She broke my heart
One day she vanished without trace
He took my place
He had a face like Chevy Chase
-----------------------------------------
Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase, you know he looked like Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase, he had a face like Chevy Chase
Well I could spend my life in search of her, but I see no disgrace in losing
Someone that you love to someone who looks like Chevy Chase
-----------------------------------------
Coz I don't waste
My precious days
In jealous and suspicious ways
Coz if you do
And they get thru
And wrap their arms around you
Then you will find
You're living as a prisoner in
Your own mind
You should have just forgiven her and
Walked on by
Instead it's gone and driven her away
To someone else's place
To someone else's face
Like Chevy Chase
-----------------------------------------
Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase, you know he looked like Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase, he had a face like Chevy Chase
Well I could spend my life in search of her, but I see no disgrace in losing
Someone that you love to someone who looks like Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase, you know he looked like Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase, yeah well at least she had some taste, a lesser...
man might get all envious, but me, I know my place
Because I only look like me, and this guy looked like Chevy Chase
You know he looked like Chevy Chase
