Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My friend drove me to the party
In her red velvet dress
She's always looking at her best
For the tall and pretty boys
[Verse 2]
I'm shaking to the core now
These things get the best of me
These goddamn kids can be so mean
[Verse 3]
Now here comes James with the long brown hair
A sense of bitterness fills the air
He sees me standing next to the girls and he shakes his head
[Verse 4]
So smug, he towers over me
I'm scared he's gonna try and cause a scene
So I tell him, patiently
[Verse 5]
It took me a while
To be where I am now
I learned how to fight back
You don't even wanna know how
[Verse 6]
He then smirks slowly
And he pats my back
He says, "The girls want a real boy"
"And you're not that"
[Verse 7]
The girls want a real boy
And you're not that
[Verse 8]
Now everybody's dancing
And I'm just sitting in the corner
With my vodka orange juice
[Verse 9]
I never should have come here
But I don't have a ride home
And it's all thanks to you
[Verse 10]
Now I don't blame you James, but I can't help the way I am
I didn't sign up for this life but I'm doing the best that I can
And it gets hard sometimes
Boy, I've tried to commit suicide multiple times
[Verse 11]
It took me a while
To be where I am now
I learned how to fight back
You don't even wanna know how
[Verse 12]
Still, I look in the mirror
And another looks back
She says, "The girls want a real boy"
And she said
"The girls want a real boy"
[Verse 13]
Now everybody's dancing
And I'm just sitting in the corner
With my vodka orange juice
[Verse 14]
I never should have come here
But I don't have a ride home
And it's all thanks to you
[Verse 15]
Now everybody's dancing
And I'm just sitting in the corner
With my vodka orange juice
[Verse 16]
I never should have come here
But I don't have a ride home
And it's all thanks to you
