The Other Boys

THE OTHER BOYS
By Lori McKenna

I had no warning
I had my heart, my body, my head
Life turned in that circle
My heart had the say

You were so pretty
You were the boy with the smile all his own
Whose hands made me dizzy
When they touched me that way

And if you tell me
You love me, I'll let you in
Use me
Love is a simple thing
Shame me
Stories find everything
When all you were trying to do was beat
All the other boys...

So there went forever
I did not believe in the word after you
Love just leaves stains in the carpet
That never go away

And if you tell me
You love me, I'll let you in
Use me
Love is a simple thing
Shame me
Stories find everything
When all you were trying to do was beat
All the other boys...

Beat all the other boys...
Beat all the other boys...

And I was the stupid girl who let you
Play your game
I felt like plastic or cardboard
And I will never feel the same, never the same

You are the champion
You picked a great player for your game
It must have been so easy
My heart had no say

But if you tell me
You love me, I'll let you in
Use me
Love is a stupid thing
Shame me
Stories find everything
