Met a girl at seventeen Thought she meant the world to me…
“Met a girl at seventeen Thought she meant the world to me, So I gave her everything, She turned out to be a cheat Said she'd been thinking for a long time And she found somebody new I've been thinking that this whole time Well I never thought you'd stay That's okay I hope he takes your filthy heart And then he throws you away some day Before you go, there's one thing you oughta know If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby If you can't hang then, there's the door I don't wanna take your precious time 'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time I don't wanna take up all your time 'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time”
