VERSE 1

Why you go and play that game?
Every day it ends the same.
He's no different than the ones before,
Won't even know your name.
Why you go and hand it out?
Don't you understand by now?
It's no different than the times before,
He'll leave you cryin out

PRE-CHORUS

But you wait for him,
And you watch for him,
The lucky one who's gonna make your night.
You look for him,
And you cry for him.
Don't you know by now that it's not right?

CHORUS

You're worth so much more,
I'm trying to say…
You don't have to live your life that way.
you've been there before,
and you'll be ok.
You don't have to give it all away.

VERSE 2
Little boy I've seen you cry,
Not real tears; you cry inside.
You never thought you'd feel so sad,
You told yourself it wasn't that bad.

PRE-CHORUS 2

But you wait for her,
And you watch for her,
The lucky girl who's gonna make your night .
You look for her,
And you cry for her.
Don't you know by now that it's not right?

CHORUS

BRIDGE (artist: Timothy Chance)
So won't you tell me little girl what you're lookin for.
Taught the class whiplash when you walked in the door.
You're worth so much more. Like life, you're priceless.
Like Chance when I rip up the mic with the rhyme; you're the nicest.
So don't sell yourself short like smurfs in miniskirts.
See I've danced with the devil and a broken heart hurts.
Keep your life tight, like my shell toe laces.
And stop lookin for love in all the wrong places.

CHORUS
