A song about a girl I used to know.

LYRICS:
Rebecca is for me
A beautiful distraction
And if my heart should rise
And try and stir me into action
I've got Rebecca to hold me back,
Rebecca to bring me down,
Confront me with the facts,
And re-ignite my doubt,
Rebecca to set my feet back
Firmly on the ground
To make a complete
Fool of me now

Rebecca is for me a guiding light
To blind me and leave me stranded in the dark
Water to my soul
To cleanse and then drown out my spark
I've got Rebecca to hold me back,
Rebecca to bring me down,
Confront me with the facts,
And re-ignite my doubt,
Rebecca to set my feet back
Firmly on the ground
To make a complete
Fool of me now

And if I ever try to speak out of turn
Or break from what I've so dutifully learned
She's given me fire to play with
And I'm going to get burned

Rebecca is for me returning home
To find that all you knew and loved has gone
I've got Rebecca to hold me back,
Rebecca to bring me down,
Confront me with the facts,
And re-ignite my doubt,
Rebecca to set my feet back
Firmly on the ground
To make a complete
Fool of me now
