LYRICS
You held my hand and walked me home
I know why you gave me that kiss
It was something like this
It made me go oh oh
You wiped my tears got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn’t enough
To take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust
Did I not tell you
That I’m not like that girl
The one who gives it all away
Yeah, oh, oh
Did you think that
I was gonna give it up to you this time?
Did you think that
It was something I was gonna do and cry
Don’t try to tell me what to do
Don’t try to tell me what to say
You’re better off that way
Don’t think that your charm
And the fact that your arm
Is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants
I’ll have to kick your ass
And make you never forget
I’m gonna ask you to stop
Thought I liked you a lot
But I’m really upset (I’m really upset)
Get out of my head, fet off of my bed
Yeah, that’s what I said
Did I not tell you
That I’m not like that girl
The one who gives it all away
Did you think that
I was gonna give it up to you
(This time)
Did you think that
It was something I was gonna do
(And cry)
Don’t try to tell me what to do
Don’t try to tell me what to say
You’re better off that way
This guilt trip that you put me on
Won’t mess me up, I’ve done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away
Yeah
Did you think that
I was gonna give it up to you
(This time)
Did you think that
It was something I was gonna do
(And cry)
Don’t try to tell me what to do
Don’t try to tell me what to say
You’re better off that way, yeah
Better off that way
I’m better off alone anyway
