This one time I
Met a guy
He told me
I was his type. He
Broke my heart. He
Wasn't nice. Said
If I changed, he'd
Change his mind.
But I I I I, I I I I
Overheard him
Talking to his guys
Saying:
I wish she was:
A little smarter, a little less dumb
A little less serious, a little more fun
Work a little harder and she'd be the one
I call when I need someone
To hold me close in the middle of the night
Make her feel at home til I cut off the lights
Lead her on then stage a fight
Then throw her out when it doesn't feel right
Throw her out when it doesn't feel right (right, right)
Now I bet he
Thinks I
Don't know what's
Going on.
Meanwhile, I'm
Writing this song
About a guy who
Treated me
Wrong
Thinking:
I wish I was:
A little smarter, a little less dumb
A little less serious, a little more fun
Work a little harder and I'd be the one
He'd call when he needs someone
To hold him close in the middle of the night
Make him feel at home til I turn off the lights
Lead him on then stage a fight
Then throw him out in the middle of the night
Middle of the night, night, night
But that's when I realized
How wrong it is
To love myself
Because of 'what ifs'
Holding on
To his wishes
Instead of loving
What is
So now I love myself
More and more each day
Forgiving and forgetting
Him til he goes
Away
Praying and praying
For a new day
Cuz all the changes
Won't make him stay
Now:
I'm a little smarter, a little less dumb
A little less serious, a little more fun
Worked a little harder
And now I'm the one
He calls when he needs someone
To hold him close in the middle of the night
Make him feel at home when I turn off the lights
No one to stage a fight
Or throw us out in the middle of the night
Middle of the night, night, night, night
And that's how
The story ends
Knowing now
He's my best friend.
Love him
Until the end
