You never should've had me think We could've made it from the start All my feelings crashed and sinked Now I have broken heart I wanted you so bad Wishing that you had Feelings just for me But here's reality I can't have you I can't have you I can't have you I can't have you I'm trying to get over you Not thinking about you is so hard There's really nothing I can do Next time I'll just keep my guard up I wanted you so bad Wishing that you had Feelings just for me But here's reality I can't have you I can't have you I can't have you I can't have you (Violin Solo) I have to play it nonchalant I need to keep you out of sight (out of sight) You couldn't give me what I want The timing, it just wasn't right, yeah I wanted you so bad Wishing that you had Feelings just for me But here's reality I can't have you I can't have you I can't have you I can't have you

French 38 04:38
This ain't no girl, she's a woman Walked in the store, European She was aged wine, and I'm just a Corona Wishing I was just a little bit older She was heading my direction Asked me, "Where are summer dresses?" I was a fool, I just stuttered my answer She smiled at me, and I swear my heart melted Oh... The mirrors paint an image But the curtains block my vision I said, oh... It's beauty at its finest It should be a crime to look like this Cuz she's a French 38 Breaks necks all across the states Cuz she's a French 38 Stunning there's no debate I said, viewer discretion Boys can't this handle one Any guy would kill to have This lady who knows how to dress Trying to see what she's up to She says, "I'm done I'll give this to you" All the colors and different attire She's a class act, damn this beauty's on fire All this shopping she's almost done with Really want her to take her time with Browsing around because she's made my whole day Leaving me speechless, I don't know what to say Oh... It's beauty at its finest It should be a crime to look like this Cuz she's a French 38 Breaks necks all across the states Cuz she's a French 38 Stunning there's no debate I said, viewer discretion Boys can't this handle one Any guy would kill to have This lady who knows how to dress (Cuz she's a French 38) French 38 (Breaks necks all across the states) All across the states (Cuz she's a French 38) Oohh... (Stunning there's no debate) There's no debate I said, viewer discretion Boys can't this handle one Any guy would kill to have This lady who knows how to dress

It's hard to let this go, cuz what we had was special The day I lost the one I love was awful These letters in my drawer remind me of how I messed up And now you're gone There's regret in me, but I had to end it I was too young and too dumb to have you Now I'm sitting here wishing that I was a man Way back then And oh, I should've moved on By now, but I still think of how things used to be And oh, wherever you are I know you’re doing better without me, yeah You're better without me You're better without me You're better without me You're better without me It's been about five years, and you're still on my mind I'm happy your new man is treating you right The way he makes you smile; if only I could have done that If only All my memories from our past still haunt me But I thank you for the good times The only thing I want right now is to say I'm sorry And oh, I should've moved on By now, but I still think of how things used to be And oh, wherever you are I know you’re doing better without me, yeah You're better without me You're better without me You're better without me You're better without me You're better without me You're better without me, yeah, oh... Here's a simple little thing that I'ma tell ya Part of me just wants to say that I still love ya It's been years and I'm still thinking bout ya What is wrong with me You're better off staying with your really good guy That's the truth, just be happy with him no lie The way I feel just makes me wanna ask why I can't get over you Why can't I And oh, I should've moved on By now, but I still think of how things used to be And oh, wherever you are I know you’re doing better without me

Strongly, I can hear the sound of my own Heartbeat, its racing fast because you're standing Next to me, I'm a ticking time bomb waiting Endlessly, just to blow up some moxie Whenever I see you I'm just always left in wonder Why can't I just say hello Why can't I just talk to you Maybe it's time I just man up and give it a shot I'd rather fail than never know Pull the trigger here I go Baby, baby, I really think you're fine Pretty lady, your looks are so divine Maybe, maybe, I could make you mine There's no pressure, don't wanna waste your time (Violin Solo) You're just looking cute as you pass by I'm Nervous, but I'm gonna say what's up Regardless, my attraction to you is Conspicuous, it's as clear as day and night Whenever I see you I'm just always left in wonder Why can't I just say hello Why can't I just talk to you Maybe it's time I just man up and give it a shot I'd rather fail than never know Pull the trigger here I go Baby, baby, I really think you're fine Pretty lady, your looks are so divine Maybe, maybe, I could make you mine There's no pressure, don't wanna waste your time (Violin Soli) No more backing out No more fuss and pout I'm just got to let you know No more backing out No more fuss and pout I'm just got to let you know Baby, baby, I really think you're fine Pretty lady, your looks are so divine Maybe, maybe, I could make you mine There's no pressure, don't wanna waste your time Baby, baby, I really think you're fine Pretty lady, your looks are so divine Maybe, maybe, I could make you mine There's no pressure, don't wanna waste your time
