I remember when my heart caught the fever
You were standing all alone in the summer heat.
I was with my boyfriend, my new boyfriend,
He was as sweet as he could be
But one look at you and I was through,
My heart switched up on me.
Like a postcard from Paris when I've seen the real thing,
It's like finding out your diamond
Is from her old promise ring.
Come on back from your fortune teller,
She read your cards upside down.
The meanest thing you ever did is come around,
And now I'm ruined,
I'm ruined…
In the evening you can catch me daydreaming,
Did that moment send you reeling just like me?
I should have gone right over,
I should have never let you leave
But it's the never knowing
That keeps this going and drives me.
Like a postcard from Paris when I've seen the real thing,
It's like finding out your diamond
Is from her old promise ring.
Come on back from your fortune teller,
She read your cards upside down.
The meanest thing you ever did is come around.
Just when I thought things were alright
My eyes played tricks on my mind, yeah.
Will I ever be satisfied 'cause all I ever seem to find is…
A postcard from Paris, when I need the real thing.
It's like finding out your diamond .
Is from her old promise ring.
Come on back from your fortune teller,
She read your cards upside down.
The meanest thing you ever did,
The cruelest thing you ever did,
The meanest thing you ever did is come around.
I am ruined…
