Babe, You Could've Loved Me - Uke Version

Babe, you could've loved me longer
You found yourself a king and he
Crowned you queen to conquer
My heart, she had to grow stronger
Since you grew into a ghost I no longer want to conjure
Loved you like a sister I had missed you the most
But you moved on to calmer coasts

Babe, you could've loved me softer
You kissed me like a lover
But I felt like an imposter
Thought I saw you and me at the alter
I was just a lamb and you had lead me to the slaughter
Honey, you had loved me til you had your fun
I should've known that you weren't the one

Baby you had made out to be
A thorny rose, but I'm a bumblebee
Thought you were a flower
Since my stay in the tower
You aren't the garden you used to be

And babe, you had to love me harder
You built me up and beat me down
to make yourself feel smarter
Stuck around cause
Cause you, you were a charmer
Even when you spoke of Lucy
And the feelings you had for her

You, you never loved me like those high school girls
Never had their freckles or their curls
She was Pennsylvania and all its folklore
Me, I was the souvenir store
Was it bad I wanted something more
