There was a time
I thought I had the world by the tail
But on that night, I let you go
I can't believe how far I fell
At first your leavin' didn't hurt me at all
But now I've had time to have
second thoughts
That's what I get for thinking
I was so smart
Listening to my head instead of my heart
Now I sit alone by this xylophone
I thought would be ringing
Now that you've left,
where does that leave me?
Without you here, I'm in misery
Girl, that ain't where I thought
I would be
That's what I get for thinking
I'll show you, that's what I said
I'll let you walk before I crawl
But it looks like you showed me
Cause I'm still waiting on your call
It only hurts when you cross my mind
But lately I'm thinking of
you all the time
That's what I get for thinking
I was so smart
Listening to my head
instead of my heart
Now I sit alone by this silent phone
I thought would be rainin'
Now that you've left,
where does that leave me?
Without you here, I'm in misery
Girl, that ain't where I
thought I would be
That's what I get for thinkin'
Oh girl, I thought you'd
come back to me
That's what I get for thinking
