lyrics

I met this guy
He’s so perfect that it could make you cry
And the other girls
Are doing everything they can to catch his eye
I hear that he
Works with children and he has a great degree
Between you and me
Just the way he moves can speed up my heart beat

He’s cute, he’s smart, he’s nice
And he is into me
He says let’s go out Friday night
And go see a movie

But he didn’t bring me flowers
Put no thought into it, what a disappointment
He didn’t try to woo me
What’s a girl to do

My kind of guy
Would want to try to sweep me off of my feet
Like I’m a prize
Worth winning and not just a piece of meat
Today I feel like I am just another girl on another date
It might be worth giving, him another chance but it’s too late

At the end of the night
He tells me I’m pretty
But I just say goodnight
When he tries to kiss me

He didn’t bring me flowers
Put no thought into it, what a disappointment
He didn’t try to woo me
What’s a girl to do

I really got my hopes up with this one
I thought that he would be a gentleman
But I guess he just wanted some fun

He didn’t bring me flowers
Put no thought into it, what a disappointment
He didn’t try to woo me
What’s a girl to do
What’s a girl to do
