I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be [bad word]  
I fall short each time, 
Every time he ain't here, 
You and your charm creep closer, closer in here, 
Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all. 
Like a bomb before explosion, 
Ticking by your call.
You're the wise one, disguised from greed, 
But I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.

But I found a boy who I love more, 
Than I ever did you before, 
So stand beside the river I cried, 
And let yourself down! 
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.

So, you thought that I'd would [bad word] to my knees
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
To whisper "will you leave your man?"
Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me.
I won't stand by you. 

Cause I found a boy who I love more, 
Than I ever did you before, 
So stand beside the river I cried
And let yourself down! 
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.

I ain't yours for no taking, 
You must be mistaken
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong
And ignore the right

Well I found a boy who loves me more, 
Than you ever did before.
So stand beside the river you cry
And let yourself down! 
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
