Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Someone said they left together

I ran out the door to get her

She was holding hands with Trevor

Not the greatest feeling ever

Said, "Pull yourself together

You should try your luck with Heather"

Then I heard they slept together

Oh, the less I know the better

...

The less I know the better

Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side?

No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night

Oh my love, can't you see that you're on my mind?

Don't suppose we could convince your lover to change his mind

So goodbye

...

She said, "It's not now or never

Wait ten years, we'll be together"

I said, "Better late than never

Just don't make me wait forever"

...

Don't make me wait forever

...

Don't make me wait forever

Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side?

I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind

I was doing fine without ya

'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase

Giving in to all his bullshit

Is this what you want? Is this who you are?

I was doing fine without ya

'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine

Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you

Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

...

Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

...

Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

...
