Lyrics

[Chorus]
How did you get here?
Nobody's supposed to be here
I've tried that love thing for the last time
My heart said, "No, no
Nobody's supposed to be here"
But you came along and changed my mind (My mind, my mind)
[Verse 1]
I've spent all my life on a search to find
The love who'll stay for eternity
The heaven sent to fulfill my needs
But when I turn around
Again, love has knocked me down
My heart got broken, oh, it hurt so bad
I'm sad to say love wins again
[PreChorus]
So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here
[Chorus]
How did you get here?
Nobody's supposed to be here (Nobody's supposed to be here)
I've tried that love thing for the last time
My heart said, "No, no (No (No))
Nobody's supposed to be here" (Nobody's supposed to be here)
But you came along and changed my mind (My mind, my mind)
[Verse 2]
This time I swear I'm through
But if only you knew
How many times I've said those words
Then fall again, when will I ever learn?
Knowing these tears I cry
This lovely black butterfly
Must take a chance and spread my wings
Love can make you do some crazy things
[PreChorus]
So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here (How did you?)
Standing here
[Bridge]
How did you get here?
No, nobody, no, no-no-no, no no, ooh (Shoo-ba-doo-doo, nobody's supposed to be here)
Nobody, hmm
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
How did you get here?
Nobody's supposed to be here
I've tried that love thing for the last time (I've tried it over and over)
My heart said, "No, no (My heart says, "No, no, no, no")
Nobody's supposed to be here (Nobody's supposed to be here)
But you came along and changed my mind (Came along and you changed)
[Chorus]
How did you get here? (I'm not supposed to know)
Nobody's supposed to be here (I'm not supposed to care anymore)
I've tried that love thing for the last time
My heart said, "No, no (No, no, no, no, no)
Nobody's supposed to be here" (No, no, no, no, no)
