Verse 1:
Beneath the smoke and the shadows
She looked a lot like Jennifer
I bet she gets that all the time
Yeah she's the spitting image of her

But that dress looked too familiar
No other blue could match those eyes
And when she smiled at me from a distance
There was no doubt left in my mind

Chorus:
But how can she be Jennifer?
Cause Jennifer left me
Found the love of another
Said goodbye changed her number
And moved away...
Don't know where she was headed
But her friends said she's never been happier
So how can she be Jennifer?

Verse 2
Last I heard she was out west
Arms wrapped around the perfect life
She always dreamed about Hollywood
Maybe she finally found the spotlight

She wouldn't be under red neon?
In this bar like nothing's changed
But her eyes were so convincing
When she swore she'd never be back here again


Chorus:
So how can she be Jennifer?
Cause Jennifer left me
Found the love of another
Said goodbye changed her number
And moved away...
Don't know where she was headed
But her friends said she's never been happier
So how can she be Jennifer?

Bridge:
She'll never know how hard it was
To fight the urge tonight
But I promised I wouldn't get burned
By the same fire twice

Chorus:
Oh how can she be Jennifer?
Cause Jennifer left me
Found the love of another
Said goodbye changed her number
And moved away
Don't know where she was headed
But her friends said she's never been happier
So how can she be Jennifer?
Oh how can she be Jennifer?
