Better Things To Do
---------------------------------
Don't tell me the reason that you're calling
Is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone
'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking
You're wantin' me to say I'm barely hanging on
Well, maybe that was true for a night or two
But now, I got better things to do
I could wash my car in the rain
Change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
Maybe when I don't have so much going
Or quite so many irons in the fire
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping
But now I can't put forth the effort it requires
Well I'd love to talk to you, but then I'd miss Donahue
That's right, I got better things to do
I could wash my car in the rain
Change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
Check the air in my tires
Straighten my stereo wires
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
I got better things to do
If I Were You
----------------------
You were standin' at my front door
When I came home tonight
And I could tell by the look you gave me
You were needin' my advice
You say you want more out of life than he can give you
As a tear rolls down your face
But girl I've seen the way he looks at you
And I know someone who'd gladly take your place
If I were you
I'd run back home tonight
Tell him everything's all right
Yeah I know what I'd do
If I were you
I'd never let him go
I'd have someone to hold my whole life through
If I were you
You shouldn't think you're missin' out on something
Because you wear a wedding band
'Cause I cant seem to find somebody
Who wants more than just a one night stand
You know this single life I'm livin'
Ain't all it's cracked up to be
So you've come to the wrong place
If what you want is sympathy
If I were you
I'd run back home tonight
Tell him everything's all right
Yeah I know what I'd do
If I were you
Id never let him go
I'd have someone to hold
My whole life through
If I were you
Id run back home tonight
Tell him everything's all right
Yeah I know what I'd do
If I were you
I'd never let him go
I'd have someone to hold my whole life through
If I were you
If I were you
When Boy Meets Girl
----------------------------------
First it's baseball arcades in the mall
Skipping out of study hall to hang with the guys
Then it's fast cars rock and roll guitars
Lighting up behind the barn and not knowing why
But his life is about to change
He's never gonna be the same
And he'll be living in a different world
When boy meets girl
One smile one look he's nearly on the hook
Got it bad and feeling good all over inside
He ain't got a clue what he's going through
But he's going to just give him time
'Cause his life is about to change
He's never gonna be the same
He'll be living in a different world
When boy meets girl
He never polished his boots before
Never thought about what he wore
Never knew he could feel like that
Now there ain't no way he can ever go back
Oh yeah his life is about to change
He ain't never gonna be the same
And he'll be living in a different world
When boy meets girl
His life is about to change
He's never gonna be the same
He'll be living in a different world
When boy meets girl
When boy meets girl
When boy meets girl
Suddenly Single
------------------------
In the pale neon light of a Saturday night
You'll see him walk up to the bar
He'll size up the ladies, the "no's" and the "maybe's"
Till he finds one who'll let down her guard
Then the band on his hand gets slipped off again
And his disarming charm starts to work
And with a drink and a lie in the blink of an eye
Something amazing occurs
He's suddenly single
Instantly free
And for three or four hours
He's the man of her dreams
He acts like there's no one waiting at home
He'll be suddenly single
Till he's suddenly gone
He sneaks through the door at a quarter to four
But tonight there's no one to wake
The note that she wrote him says, I've given up hoping
Id be able to change you someday
He sits on the bed shaking head
A man in complete disbelief
He knows what he's lost
Oh but he never thought
Someday he'd really be
Suddenly single
Instantly free
And for the rest of his life
She'll haunt his dreams
And now there'll be no one waiting at home
He's suddenly single
'Cause she's suddenly gone
He's suddenly single
'Cause she's suddenly gone
