Betting on You
I fell in love with two dozen white boys
Playing sad songs on guitars
Gave it all up, it's not enough
Oh these boys only get you so far
They say, who'd you think you are?
Well I'm just a chick in some bar
They told me to play like a woman estranged
So I screamed from the top of my lungs
Got them confused when I sang them the blues
'Cause a woman can't choose what she wants
They say, who have you become?
And could you do that all along?
If I needed someone I could rely on
I wouldn't be betting on you
If I needed something I could believe in
I don't think your washed up dream would do
Some of them tried to make me one of the guys
But I guess I'm too shapely for you
So some instead tried to take me to bed
And I'd smile but never follow through
They say, why the attitude?
Got something better to do?
If I needed someone I could rely on
I wouldn't be betting on you (you)
If I needed something I could believe in
I don't think your washed up dream would do
I fell in love with two dozen white boys
Playing sad songs on guitars
Gave it all up, it's not enough
Oh these boys only get you so far
Playing sad songs on guitars
Gave it all up, it's not enough
Oh these boys only get you so far
They say, who'd you think you are?
Well I'm just a chick in some bar
They told me to play like a woman estranged
So I screamed from the top of my lungs
Got them confused when I sang them the blues
'Cause a woman can't choose what she wants
They say, who have you become?
And could you do that all along?
If I needed someone I could rely on
I wouldn't be betting on you
If I needed something I could believe in
I don't think your washed up dream would do
Some of them tried to make me one of the guys
But I guess I'm too shapely for you
So some instead tried to take me to bed
And I'd smile but never follow through
They say, why the attitude?
Got something better to do?
If I needed someone I could rely on
I wouldn't be betting on you (you)
If I needed something I could believe in
I don't think your washed up dream would do
I fell in love with two dozen white boys
Playing sad songs on guitars
Gave it all up, it's not enough
Oh these boys only get you so far
