I remember when my heart caught the fever
You were standing all alone in the summer heat
I was with my boyfriend, my new boyfriend
He was as sweet as he could be
But one look at you and I was through
My heart switched up on me
Like a postcard from Paris
When I've seen the real thing
It's like finding out your diamond
Is from her old promise ring
A call back from your fortune teller
She read your cards upside down
The meanest thing you ever did
Is come around
And now, I'm ruined
I'm ruined
In the evening you can catch me daydreaming
Did that moment send you reeling just like me?
I should have gone over, right over
I should have never let you leave
But it's the never-knowing
That keeps this going
And drives me crazy
Like a postcard from Paris
When I've seen the real thing
It's like finding out your diamond
Is from her old promise ring
A call back from your fortune teller
She read your cards upside down
The meanest thing you ever did
Is come around
Just when I thought
Things were alright
My eyes play tricks
On my mind, yeah
Will I ever be satisfied
Cause all I ever seem to find
Is a postcard from Paris
When I need the real thing
It's like finding out your diamond
Is from an old promise ring
A call back from your fortune teller
She read your cards upside down
The meanest thing you ever did
The cruelest thing you ever did
The meanest thing you ever did
Is come around
I am ruined
I'm ruined
Now I am ruined, yeah
I'm ruined
