Lyrics
Boys who wait will lose the race, you gotta make your play.
Don’t believe the ones who say, “Someday I’ll make it, babe.”
If all he’s got are tales from long ago,
He’s got nowhere left to go.
Start with lunch, just take it slow,
See what kind of man he shows.
Pick your friends with open eyes,
Regret will come if you don’t realize.
A woman’s worst enemy’s often her own,
Love can blind you when you’re all alone.
Band-aid hearts need brand-new love,
That’s the rule we’re dreaming of.
A woman’s heart can change so fast,
Like autumn skies that never last.
Choose by charm and you’ll lose your bet,
The bad boys are the hardest to forget.
Nothing hurts like wounded pride,
Quiet guys just try to hide.
Some men shine, then lose their glow,
Once they think they’ve reached the show.
And those coaches full of talk,
Acting big but small at heart.
Singles always give advice,
About the love they never tried.
If he jokes ’bout what you fear,
Girl, you’ve got the right to steer.
Give a man a bit of power,
He’ll play god within the hour.
If he quits after just one fall,
He ain’t worth your time at all.
When he talks about other girls,
He’s just beggin’ for your world.
Clumsy boys can’t say it straight,
So they tease the ones they crave.
Hey now, listen, I’ll tell you true,
Love and life got tricks for you.
The ones who ask for way too much,
Can’t do it on their own and such.
Still those hopeless boys, you know,
We just can’t let them go.
Papa grows the garden green,
Mama grows the man, you see.
That’s her little love degree —
Remember it, my sweet.
