Brand New Beau
I used to know that the world was round
(The world was round)
I relied on the speed of sound
(Speed of sound)
Gravity used to hold me down
(Hold me down)
But now, what can I believe in?
(What can I believe?)
You were the constant one true thing
(One true thing)
Made me sure of everything
(Everything)
I can't believe this is happening
You and your brand new beau
(I think it's time to go)
I was under the distinct impression
That we were swingin' in the same direction
But you've got a certain predilection
This truth is stranger than fiction
The way you touched me I had no suspicions
(The way you touch)
But evidently you've no inhibitions
(No, no, no)
Your body took you on a covert mission
Why am I the last to know?
I used to know that the world was round
(The world was round)
I relied on the speed of sound
(Speed of sound)
Gravity used to hold me down
(Hold me down)
But now, what can I believe in?
(What can I believe?)
You were the constant one true thing
(One true thing)
Made me sure of everything
(Everything)
I can't believe this is happening
You and your brand new beau
(I think it's time to go)
I walked in it was just around midnight
(Tick tock, tick tock)
It was snowing, so they canceled my flight
(We're sorry to announce)
Two empty glasses in the dim candlelight
I heard you mention my name
(Amanda)
And then I heard another voice that shocked me
He was saying, "Is the front door locked?"
He saw my face and then you tried to block me
My life won't ever be the same
I used to know that the world was round
(The world was round)
I relied on the speed of sound
(Speed of sound)
Gravity used to hold me down
(Hold me down)
But now, what can I believe in?
(What can I believe?)
You were the constant one true thing
(One true thing)
Made me sure of everything
(Everything)
I can't believe this is happening
You and your brand new beau
(I think it's time to go)
You could have offered me some dignity
And not pulled the rug out from under me
I thought I was your queen
I thought I was your queen
(Wasn't I, wasn't I?)
I used to know that the world was round
(The world was round)
I relied on the speed of sound
(Speed of sound)
Gravity used to hold me down
(Hold me down)
But now, what can I believe in?
(What can I believe?)
You were the constant one true thing
(One true thing)
Made me sure of everything
(Everything)
I can't believe this is happening
