Hey

THIS GIRL MOVED INTO MY APARTMENT

(ONE DAY)

ONE LOOK AT HER MY HEART WAST STOPING

(HEARTBREAK)

I DID WHATEVERSHE WAS ASKING

SHE SAID,

MAYBE LATER, CATCH YOU IN THE ELEVATOR

A COUPLE DAYS WE GOT TO HANGING

(REAL CLOSE)

TOUNS OUT SHE WASN'T EVEN TAKEN

(NO, NO)

I MADE A MOVE

SHE SAID

BABY, YOU'RE MISTAKEN, I'M NOT INTO BACON

SHE GOT THAT SMILE

AND THAT BODY IS TO DIE FOR

ONE OF A KIND

AND THAT'S WHY IT MAKES ME CRY

'CAUSE I FOUND A GIRL

WHO'S IN LOVE WITH A GIRL

SHE SAID THAT SHE TRIED

BUT SHE'S NOT INTO GUYS

OH WHY TELL ME WHY

DID I FALL FOR THOSE EYES

SHE SAID I WAS NICE

BUT SHE'S NOT INTO GUYS

I FOUND A GIRL

I SHOULD'VE KNOWN TO WALK AWAY THEN

I SHOULD'VE LEFT IT ALONE

BUT WHEN SHE CALLED ME ON THE PHONE

WE'D BEING HANGING AGAIN

UNDER THE PREMISE OF FRIENDS

BUT NOW SHE ONLY TALKS TO ME ABOUT SOME OTHER WOMAN

SHE SAID

SHE GOT THAT SMILE

AND THAT BODY IS TO DIE FOR

ONE OF A KIND

AND THAT'S WHY IT MAKES ME CRY

'CAUSE I FOUND A GIRL

WHO'S IN LOVE WITH A GIRL

SHE SAID THAT SHE TRIED

BUT SHE'S NOT INTO GUYS

(OH WHY)

OH WHY TELL ME WHY

DID I FALL FOR THOSE EYES

SHE SAID I WAS NICE

BUT SHE'S NOT INTO GUYS

I FOUND A GIRL

OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH,

I FOUND A GIRL

OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH,

SHE IS PUTTING UP HER DEFENSE

CUZ HER RECENT PUSHED HER

OVER THE DEEP END

NOW THE GIRLS ARE COMING

OVER FOR THE WEEKEND

IF YOU DIDN'T GET AN INVATATION,

SHE WILL RESEND

(UH)

SLUMBER PARTY, NO BOYS ALLOWED

BRING OUT THE DOG, YEAH,

TOYS ARE ALLOWED

NO TOM, NO HARRY, NO (?) ALLOWED

CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I FOUND

'CAUSE I FOUND A GIRL

WHO'S IN LOVE WITH A GIRL

SHE SAID THAT SHE TRIED

BUT SHE'S NOT INTO GUYS

(OH WHY?)

OH, WHY? TELL ME WHY

DID I FALL FOR THOSE EYES

SHE SAID I WAS NICE

BUT SHE'S NOT INTO GUYS
