Watch her watch him as she sits there alone
She's surrounded by a crowd
Her tears go unknown
She knows quite well this boys heart is just like the rest
Still she adores him
She waits for him
She gives him her best

*chorus*
Why oh my oh my
Do you have to waste your tears
And spend your years
Waiting on this boy who's never going to change
Cause hopes out of his range
He's proven himself to be a dirty liar
Your fears transpire
You'll never stop crying
If you're waiting on this boy, this boy

You've proven yourself much stronger than you'd known
You've been down to some bad places but you let that go
I wish you'd believe me when I say the past is gone
Just drop your burden that is hurting and move on
Tell me now

*chorus*
Why oh my oh my
Do you have to waste your tears
And spend your years
Waiting on this boy who's never going to change
Cause hopes out of his range
He's proven himself to be a dirty liar
Your fears transpire
You'll never stop crying
If you're waiting on this boy, this boy

On all those spring nights she thought he was alone
She was sitting on her bed tears dripping on the telephone
Asking herself

*chorus*
Why oh my oh my
Do you have to waste your tears
And spend your years
Waiting on this boy who's never going to change
Cause hopes out of his range
He's proven himself to be a dirty liar
Your fears transpire
You'll never stop crying
If you're waiting on this boy, this boy
