It's too bad you think the sky's a ceiling
It's too bad you think my love is green
I'm really quite sure I know what I'm feelin'
But your best is done and I'm squeaky clean

Never believed me when I told you
But I was so young only yesterday
I never believed you when you told me
That you'd trade for love just about anything

So now you're alone
And I'm just lonely
I tried and I failed, and now you're gone
Suppose you weren't meant for my one and only
So don't think of me when you hear this song
Think of another, lips red and shiny
Another, with roots like an evergreen

Think of another, she will find you
She will find you

Never believed me when I told you
But I was so young only yesterday
I never believed you when you told me
But you'd trade for love just about anything
Your grandma's rich
Your daddy is lonely
Your momma's chasing round misery
Suppose you weren't meant for my one and only
Don't believe for a second you could just walk away

You never believed me when I told you
But I was so young only yesterday
I never believed you when you told me
That you'd trade for love just about anything
That you'd trade for love just about anything
