lyrics

see you don't know her like I do
she's not half as hard as she might seem to you
she's talking like you could be the one
she'll read between your lines 'till she finds enough
that she can hold onto
so I'm asking

could you not fuck with her today?
could you not tell her lies that make her think you'll stay?
you don't know me at all
so you don't owe me at all
but could you not fuck with her today?

I know you've always been quite clear
when you first met you told her
you don't know who you're dealing with here
she just took that as a dare
once you see how fabulous I am
you couldn't help but care
so I'm asking

these are the lessons that I thought I already learned
when they don't say they love you
that's just cause they don't
and if he never calls first
he's hoping that I won't
I can't believe that I am here again
do you believe that I am here again?
