Legend, John - Maxine Lyrics






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

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

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 mid, 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

Maxine, she looks just like you
Maxine, she looks just like you
Maxine, Maxine

    Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

    For those of you that don't know, this song is about a man that has caught his wife cheating and either can't process it or is being very sarcastic about the situation. I find it very funny that all these people think its so sweet and all happy. 😅 I'm so sorry guys!

    This song is beautiful but sad..he's basically saying it is her but his heart won't let him believe that it is..he doesn't want to face the fact of her being unfaithful...I love this song so much

    w.... ....

    :[ He says "I took another sip of fine liquor... it was quite a sight to see." I never realized how truly tragic this tune was. 

  51. w.... ....

    I love John Legend.. But some parts of this song sound like fucking Mario Kart background music

    A.... ....

    So true

    A.... ....

    That ol' Bossa Nova man. It'll never die.

  67. 6.... ....

    i think Youtube comment section needs a more imagination and a lot less of who "brought you here"...

  68. 6.... ....

    no..i shoulda said "but not before u blow me"

  69. r.... ....

    The funny part about it is that Tyler is a HUGE fan of this type of music, guess that some of his other fans just don't appreciate this as much as he does or his other fans :/

  70. J.... T....

    Is it just me or could he have possibly caught that bitch cheating and didn't wanna come right out and say it? No? Just me?
    It might not be her but i doubt if the bitch got a long lost twin... >.>

  86. M.... M....

    haha, my name is Maxine too!! :)

  87. L.... H....

    Quite the sensational tune. I always imagined Maxine was a woman he quickly fell infatuated. He was in Peru, see's this woman... Thinks she's cheating or the infatuations not mutual. In the end she has a twin. They all meet at the airport. The imagery this song creates manifest amazing ideas in my head visually. This should have a video.

  88. M.... S....

    Yay! my name is Maxine

  89. T.... T....

    wow lol! me too!! i always picture a dim lit jazz bar with classy adults, lots of liquor and long handle cigarette holders, lots of smoke lol! and John is slowly following his cheating chick, everything is in black and white except the beautiful Maxine, has on her white stilettos and baby blue silk dress!!!

  90. 6.... ....
