Lyrics & Translation
English
I happened to notice a girl in a light shade of blue
I happened to see her, the sight of her leaves me confused
She may not be you
But she looks just like you
She may not be you
But she looks just like you
You should've seen the way she wore her dress
And her white stiletto shoes
You should've seen the way they looked on her
Just like the ones that I bought you
I searched for days on end to no avail
'Til I found them in Peru
She must've been to Lima just as well
Because she had them too
You should've seen her eyes, her lips, her face
She looked as sweet as honeydew
You should've seen the way she walked away
Oh, she swayed her hips like you
I was only several steps from her
But she never noticed me
I took another sip of fine liqueur
It was quite a sight to see
I happened to notice a girl in a light shade of blue
I happened to see her, the sight of her leaves me confused
She may not be you
But she looks just like you
She may not be you
But she looks just like you
You should've seen the way he stroked her hair
And the smile that lit her face
You should've seen the way he kissed her lips
Did it have the same sweet taste?
Though my mind, it might be running wild
In constant search of you
It's funny how my eyes keep seeing things my heart
Would not believe are true
I happened to notice a man in a dark shade of blue
Who happened to be with a woman who leaves me confused
She may not be you
But she looks just like you
She may not be you
But she looks just like you
Maxine, she looks just like you
Maxine, she looks just like you
Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine
(You should've seen her)

Maxine (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Casualmente noté a una chica en un tono claro de azul
Casualmente la vi, su imagen me deja confundido
Puede que no seas tú
Pero se parece mucho a ti
Puede que no seas tú
Pero se parece mucho a ti
Debiste ver cómo llevaba su vestido
Y sus zapatos de tacón de aguja blancos
Debiste ver cómo le quedaban
Justo como los que te compré
Busqué durante días sin éxito
Hasta que los encontré en Perú
Ella también debe haber estado en Lima
Porque ella también los tenía
Debiste ver sus ojos, sus labios, su cara
Se veía tan dulce como el melón
Debiste ver cómo se alejó
Oh, ella movía sus caderas como tú
Estaba a solo unos pasos de ella
Pero ella nunca me notó
Tomé otro sorbo de licor fino
Fue todo un espectáculo de ver
Casualmente noté a una chica en un tono claro de azul
Casualmente la vi, su imagen me deja confundido
Puede que no seas tú
Pero se parece mucho a ti
Puede que no seas tú
Pero se parece mucho a ti
Debiste ver cómo él le acariciaba el cabello
Y la sonrisa que iluminaba su rostro
Debiste ver cómo él besó sus labios
¿Tenía el mismo sabor dulce?
Aunque mi mente, podría estar desbocada
En constante búsqueda de ti
Es curioso cómo mis ojos siguen viendo cosas que mi corazón
No creería que son verdad
Casualmente noté a un hombre en un tono oscuro de azul
Quien casualmente estaba con una mujer que me deja confundido
Puede que no seas tú
Pero se parece mucho a ti
Puede que no seas tú
Pero se parece mucho a ti
Maxine, se parece mucho a ti
Maxine, se parece mucho a ti
Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine
(Debiste haberla visto)
