lyrics

A few years ago, I was pretty, pretty young, I listened to the crap you had to say.
Quite a while ago I often bit my tongue instead of saying: “Hey! That was not OK!”
When I was a girl, I was pretty, pretty dumb, I didn’t run and scream when you said
things like that:

“Your laugh hurts my ears, can you just shut up and smile?
I know, it’s your birthday, but sorry, we are done…
Thank you, babe, you were so great, what’s taking you so long?
No, I won’t put that thing on, it just doesn’t feel right, it just doesn’t feel right.”

God, I really, really…
Hope that the boy that you’ll squeeze out of your groins will be a better man, will be a better man
I Hope that the boy that you’ll squeeze out of your groins will be a better man, will be a better man than
you lalalalalalaaa a better man, better man, a better man…………… I
Hope that the boy that you’ll squeeze out of your groins will be a better man, will be a better man
I Hope that the boy that you’ll squeeze out of your groins will be a better man, will be a better man than
you lalalalalalaaaa a better man, better man, a better man than you!

It’s June, I’m back, and I’m walking through those streets that remind me of a few years ago.
When you shut me up, because you were afraid no one would listen to the crap you had to say.
I was just a girl and I was way, way too dumb, I believed you when you said
Things like that:

“You will never make it sweetie, better stop it now!
If you don’t wanna do it with me, you don’t really love me, you don’t really love me.”

God, I really, really…
Hope that the boy that you’ll squeeze out of your groins will be a better man, will be a better man
I Hope that the boy that you’ll squeeze out of your groins will be a better man, will be a better man than
you lalalalalalaaa a better man, better man, a better man…………… I
Hope that the boy that you’ll squeeze out of your groins will be a better man, will be a better man
I Hope that the boy that you’ll squeeze out of your groins will be a better man, will be a better man than
you lalalalalalaaaa a better man, better man, a better man than you!
