Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All of this time, I planned
I'd be patient, and
You would love me again
You'd come to respect my mind
And at last, you'd find
You could love me again
[Verse 2]
And I have turned my whole world
Upside down, trying not to let you go
Watching you walk away
Is like a fatal blow
[Verse 3]
What? Whoa
[Verse 4]
Is that my name up on that list?
Does someone know that I exist?
Is this a mistake? Am I even awake?
Pinch me now to make sure
[Verse 5]
Ow, yes, that is my name in black and white
Maybe I'm doing something right
Wow, I feel so much better than before
[Verse 6]
Warner, sorry I've been a pest
But I guess my best was not working with you
But looks like I've found a cure
And I sure look forward to working with you
(Wait, working with who?)
[Verse 7]
Hey, remember when we spent spring break
In the hot tub every night?
We said, nothing else could ever feel so right
Well, this might (Snap)
[Verse 8]
Seeing my name up on that list
That beats the first time that we kissed
You thought I was dumb
But I think that somebody's judgement was poor
[Verse 9]
Seeing my name in black and white
It's like making love with you all night
No wait, it feels so much better
Hello, much better
It's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, much better
'Cause I am so much better than before
[Verse 10]
(Yes, she's so much better than before)
(Yes, she's so much better than before)
[Verse 11]
Maybe she's what you prefer, but, hey, last year I was her
Maybe you will change your mind, but you might look up to find
I've gone on to better things, better jobs or bigger rings
I don't have the time to cry, I'm too busy loving my
[Verse 12]
Name up on that list
Kind of a cool ironic twist
Who else can I tell?
Oh, wait, where's my cell?
Mom will fall on the floor
[Verse 13]
Hey, mom
Look at my name in black and white
Your daughter's doing something right
I feel so much better
[Verse 14]
I'll be there on Monday, 9 o'clock
Then we will see who walks the walk
Oh no, I can't wait, I will be there at 8
When they unlock the door
[Verse 15]
(Oh, oh) I'll even dress in black and white
See, I have not begun to fight
And you'll go, whoa, much better and
Oh, much better
And soon all y'all gonna know much better
[Verse 16]
That I am so much better
(I am so much better)
I am so much better
(I am so much)
I am so much better
Than before
Yeah
