Lyrics:
You held my hand and walked me home, I know
Why you gave me that kiss
It was something like this and 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
Pre-Chorus
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl
The one who gives it all away - yeah
Chorus
Did you think that I was going to give it up to you -
this time
Did you think it was something I was going to 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'm gonna have to kick your a** and make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop
I thought I liked you alot but I'm really upset
Get out of my head get off of my bed
Yeah that's what I said
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
This guilt trip that you put me on
Won't mess me up I've done no wrong
And the thoughts of you and me have gone - away
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
I'm better off alone anyway
