Lyrics

You, I never thought I'd play your fool
I only thought we'd say I do
I kept you waiting in the cue for ooo, god knows who

True, I should have noticed you were blue
But you can change your color too
You don't have to paint a smile, it's kind to be cruel

I want your love I want it now
You kept me waiting too long

I had to hide behind an old sweet song and
I had to get alone to get along then
I had to matter when you didn't mind but
That's what kept my heart alive, that's why (I tried!)
That's what kept my heart alive

Woah oh, oh, could I just get a chance to show
That a guy's supposed to know when a woman's lost her glow
And oh so it goes

I live I learn I can't slow down
You know I'll keep on somehow
