Jennifer Nettles - That Girl lyrics

rate me

A friend gave me your number

To tell you watch your lover's tracks

See I always kind of liked you

So, I wanna have your back

There is a good chance by the time you hear this

The story's gonna say

That I came on to him

But it was never quite that way

I knew he was good looking

Maybe too good to be true

But when he kissed me in that alley

I could tell he wasn't you

[Chorus]

I don't want to be that girl

With your guy

To fool you

Make you cry

Wreck it all

For one night

To be with him when he should be with you

I don't want all the dirty looks

The headlines

So, I called you

To explain why

I wound up

With your guy

When I don't really wanna be that girl

I know boys can be promiscuous

Yeah, that's just what they do

But this involves the both of us

Yeah, it's our business too

So, I thought I'd call to tell you

That it was never in my plan

I'm not the scarlet Devil

I don't want to take your man

Imagine how surprised I was

When he got up to leave

It wasn't my name on his lips

No, he didn't call for me

He didn't say, Jolene

[Chorus]

We all know how the moral of the story goes

Be careful what you reap because you reap what you sow

I'm calling 'cause I really thought you should know

Even though he's being that guy

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be that girl
