[Intro]

[Long Intro]

[Intro – spoken] 
“Well... 
Some people search for originality. 
Me? 
I'd rather have no surprises.”
[Doo-wop voices: "Shoo-doo... shoo-doo…”]

[Verse 1] 
You never surprised me, not even one time 
You copied your opinions, and they all fit mine 
When somebody asked you, 
"What movie's the best?" 
You waited for my answer... 
Then undid your dress
[Backing: "Ooooh... yes she did…”]

[Verse 2] 
You laugh at all my punchlines half a second late 
You order what I'm ordering but don’t even touch the plate
 You wear the same expression every place we go
 If I raise an eyebrow...
 Yours is sure to follow

[Chorus]
 You're a Xerox copy of everything I want 
A duplicate of a facsimile of a heart 
You're a carbon version, every page aligned 
Baby, you're a …beautiful duplicate
 I’m not saying that to be kind
[Doo-wop: "Only a… copy.. A xerox copy…”]

[Verse 3] 
When I changed my hairstyle, yours changed instantly Hours after mine was done professionally 
When I bought blue sneakers, you bought blue ones too Now strangers think we're twins 
What an awkward thing to do
[Backing: "Awkward... awkward…”]

[Bridge] 
Some folks dream of mystery 
Someone wild and free 
But uncertainty just gives me uncertainty
Give me a sweet Xerox copy 
Predictability
 A relationship with... 
A money back guarantee!
[Backing: “Money… back… guarantee…”]

[Long Solo]

[Verse 4] 
You quote all of my catchphrases perfectly on cue 
Even all my bad ideas somehow sound good on you
 If they ever cloned me, I'd politely decline 
'Cause I've already found one... 
A Xerox copy by my side

[Final Chorus] 
You're a Xerox copy of everything I need 
Printed front and back with astonishing speed 
No original required, that's perfectly fine 
You're my favorite replica… 
Of this heart of mine
You're a Xerox copy of everything I adore
 Every tiny reproduced quirk and nothing more
 If love is duplication... 
Then our future's bright
'Cause when they copied you 
You came out just right.

[Outro]
Just a copy 
(Copy... copy…) 
A mere facsimile
(facsimile... facsimile…) 
Wouldn't change a thing...
Paper jam...
Still worth it.

[Outro]

[End Now]

[NO MORE SONG, END]

[Instruments Stop]

[Silence]

[Definitive end to song]

[End]
