Lyrics: When You’re Looking Like That by Westlife

When you’re looking like that
Yeah, yeah

She’s five foot ten, in catsuit and Bambi eyes
Everybody who’s staring wouldn’t believe that this girl was mine
I should have known I was wrong
When I left her for a life in pity
But they say you never miss the water until it’s gone

‘Cause I failed to love you
And just taking it out tonight

Am I supposed to leave you now
When you’re looking like that?
I can’t believe what I just gave away
Now I can’t take it back
I don’t wanna get lost
I don’t wanna live my life without you
Am I supposed to leave you now
When you’re looking like that?

She’s all dressed up for glamour and rock and roll
Wanna squeeze her real tight
Get out of this place if only I can take control
But she’s out of my reach forever
And just a week ago she lied next to me
It’s so ironic how I had to lose just to see

That I failed to love you
And you’re taking it out tonight

I don’t wanna forget you
I don’t even wanna try
Am I supposed to walk on by?
When you’re looking like that
How am I supposed to leave you?
When you’re looking like that
I can’t believe what I just gave away (Oh no)
If I can’t take it back, I’m lost
I don’t wanna live my life without you (Live my life without you)
Am I supposed to leave you now?
When you’re looking like that
