I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
Can't help myself, you're too good to be true!
I fall short each time,

Every time he ain't here
You and your charm creep closer, closer in here,
Like a fool for fire, I fall, with my pride and all!

Like a bomb before explosion,
Ticking by your call
You're the wiser one, disguised from greed,

And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.
Chorus:
But I found a boy who I love more,

Than I ever did you before,
So stand beside the river I cried,
And let yourself down!


Look how you want me now that I don't need you!
So, you thought that I crumble to my knees

At the first I told you calling back to me
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'
Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me.

I won't stand by you!

Chorus:

Cause I found a boy who I love more,
Than I ever did you before,
So stand beside the river I cried

And let yourself down!
Look how you want me now that I don't need you!


I ain't yours for no taking,
You must be mistaken
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong

And ignore the right

Chorus:

Well I found a boy that loves me more,
Than you ever did before.
So stand beside the river you cried

And let yourself down!
Look how you want me now that I don't need you!
