Lyrics
Verse1
I'm gonna write you a pretty little love song baby
But I'm too damn mad to be sweet
I pour out my heart
You tear it apart
Then you leave it laying right at my feet.
Baby you're a whole lotta loving girl
I still think you're the one for me
I'm gonna write you a pretty little love song baby
But I'm too damn mad to be sweet
Chorus
You're all that I wanted,
You're the girl I was looking for
The heart of each moment
The only one that opens that door
Bridge
It's the littlest things
That bring the biggest pain
Baby I love you
But that little crap don't mean a thing.
