She’s Actual Size Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Words fail, buildings tumble
The ground opens wide
Light beams down from heaven
She stands before my eyes

[Chorus 1]
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror
But they're actual size as she drives away


[Verse 2]
Big men often tremble
As they step aside
I thought I was big once
She changed my mind

[Chorus 2]
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
I've never known anybody like her
She's actual size, nationwide, believe

[Verse 3]
She's got all the money
Money couldn't buy
She's got something special
That someone left behind

[Chorus 1]
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror
But they're actual size, actual size to her

[Verse 4]
Her face hangs in portrait
On the post office wall

She's stuck in my heart now
Where my blood belongs


[Chorus 2]
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
I've never known anybody like her
She's actual size, actual size, believe

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

She’s bigger then most men with her massive influence, both financially and due to her family name. Even if she’s actual size she horrifies men all the same.
