Lyric

Boys who wait will lose the race

Gotta move if they want a place

Don’t believe the ones who say

“Someday, babe — someday…”

If all he’s got are stories old

Nothin’ new left to unfold

Start with lunch, just take it slow

Watch the man he starts to show

Pick your friends with open eyes

Love’ll fool the heart sometimes

Worst enemy you’ll ever know?

Your lonely heart that lets it go

Band-aid hearts need brand-new love

That’s the rule we’re dreaming of

A woman’s sky can change so fast

Like autumn blue that never lasts

Choose by charm, you’ll lose that bet —

Bad boys are the hard ones to forget

Nothing stings like wounded pride

Quiet boys got hurt inside

Some shine bright, then fade so soon

Think they’ve made it — lost the moon

And those coaches full of talk

Acting big on little chalk

Band-aid hearts need brand-new love…

Singles give the loud advice

’Bout the love they never tried

If he jokes at what you fear

Girl, turn the wheel — get outta here

Give a boy a little power

He’ll play god inside the hour

If he quits after one fall —

He ain’t worth your love at all

Talkin’ ‘bout other girls?

He wants you to rock his world

Clumsy boys who can’t confess?

Tease the ones they like the best

Hey now, listen, here’s what’s true:

Love and life got tricks for you

Those hopeless boys, you know the deal —

Can’t resist the way they feel

Papa grows the garden green —

Mama grows the man, my queen

That’s her little love degree —

Carry it — and you’ll be free
