Mr. Right Now

I met him in June, the summer began
Collecting all the pieces to my five year plan
Falling for the dream and not the man

Some days, swear I liked him the most
Some days, is it wrong to ghost?
He wants to try but I don't know if I can

Mr. Right but I'm not ready
I wanna go slow but he wants to go steady
Look in his eyes says I'm the one
Wish I could promise him that I won't run
He calls back and he makes plans
I know that he'd be a good man
He's all I wanted so I don't understand

And he's patient and perfect
And tells me my worth but
I'm holding out for somebody else

He may be right
We may be right
But he's not Mr. Right Now

Nervous in your car but then we're getting along
I took the aux and you knew every song
Eight months and we've been talking for so long

I don't wanna settle, it's all noncommittal
When every face I see has potential
How can I be with you without doing you wrong?

Mr. Right but I'm not ready
I wanna go slow but he wants to go steady
Look in his eyes says I'm the one
Wish I could promise him that I won't run
He calls back and he makes plans
I know that he'd be a good man
He's all I wanted so I don't understand

And he's patient and perfect
And tells me my worth but
I'm holding out for somebody else

He may be right
We may be right
But he's not Mr. Right Now

Now I'm at the club, it's too loud to speak
A new face, a new name every week
Oh oh
Leaning on the bar and falling into a stranger's arms
Hard liquor but I swear that it tastes sweet
Oh no

No words but our mouths are moving
My God, what am I proving?
Something I don't like doing
Doing, doing

And it feels foreign
And these drinks that they're pouring
Well they burn like fire but I can't feel pain
By the end of the night I'll be thinking your name

Oh

Mr. Right but I'm not ready
He deserves a girl who wants to go steady
I turn to him, I say "I'm done"
I can't lead him on, I'm not the one
Nods his head and he touches my hand
I know that he'd be a good man
I let him down but I hope he understands

And he's patient and perfect
And tells me my worth but
I'm holding out for somebody else

He may be right
We may be right
But he's not Mr. Right Now
