Whoa whoa whoa (you was everything I needed)
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa (I can't go on)
(I gotta know When it is true)
Sweet lies, girl (listen)
My stomach aches and sweat in my palms
This is so sudden (what I'm supposed to do?)
I thought that love calls between our hearts
Were truly touchin' (be careful what you ask for)
One day i'll meet that special girl (special girl)
Just for me (just for me)
She'll have open ears (open ears)
She won't ignore me
I'll bet i'll meet some special girl (special girl)
She'll save the day (she'll save the day)
And she'll get it (ohhhhhhh)
When i say girl
I don't wanna go on
In this life
Wonderin why (baby why)
Why (baby why)
I rather the bitter truth
When it comes to you (when it comes to you)
Than sweet lies (sweet lies)
Lies (sweet lies)
Why oh why this song
Don't you love me (i love you, put that on everything)
Well maybe where I went wrong
Was callin you honey (shorty, shawty, don't matter)
One day i'll meet that special girl (special girl)
Just for me (just for me)
She'll have open ears (open ears)
She won't ignore me
I'll bet i'll meet some special girl (special girl)
She'll save the day (she'll save the day)
And she'll get it (ohhhhhhh)
When I say girl
I don't wanna go on
In this life
Wondering why (baby why)
Why (baby why)
I rather the bitter truth
When it comes to you (when it comes to you)
Than sweet lies (sweet lies)
Lies (sweet lies)
Ohhhhhhhhh (what i'm supposed to do)
Ohhhhhhhhh (stay up here thinkin about this)
Man please
Ohhhhhhhhh (i'm lacing up my bathing apes)
Then i'm out
I'm out tonight
I bet it was sweet on your lips
When you told me (let me show you)
Ay-ay (it hurt me)
My heart is just twisting slowly
(I let you do) no one to hold me
One day i'll meet that special girl (special girl)
Just for me (just for me)
She'll have open ears (open ears)
She won't ignore me
I'll bet i'll meet some special girl (special girl)
She'll save the day (she'll save the day)
And she'll get it (ohhhhhhhh)
