Boy Like You
Diana DeGarmo Lyrics

You say I'm your best friend
You claim that I am your closest and most trusted companion.

You know that you can count on me.
You are aware that you can rely on me for anything at any time.

You say I'm nice, I'm funny.
According to you, I possess pleasing qualities such as being pleasant and humorous.

Is that why I'm not the girl of your dreams?
Is it then, why I'm not the epitome of your romantic aspirations?

You say that I'm the only who understands you.
You assert that I'm the only person who comprehends your intricacies and idiosyncrasies.

But I'm the one on Friday nights with nothing to do.
Despite that, I end up alone with nothing to do on Friday nights.

Hey I've got something to say.
Hold on, I have something important to express.

We both know that you've been cheating off my paper since seventh grade.
It's a known fact that you've been copying my papers since we were in seventh grade.

You know that you do it.
You're aware of your wrongdoing.

Hey, don't go walking away.
Hey, don't try to avoid this conversation by leaving.

This is for every girl in love whose ever fallen for a boy like you.
This is for any girl who's ever had romantic feelings for a guy like you and has faced similar difficulties.

I hate your call waiting.
I despise your caller ID feature that informs you about incoming calls while we're talking.

Because I know you're on the line with her.
Because I'm aware that you're talking to her on the other line.

You click back.
You abruptly end our conversation without so much as an apology.

It's so frustrating
I find it incredibly annoying and stressful.

Because you don't remember where we were.
Your disregard for our previous conversation location is disheartening.

You ask what movies that I've seen
You inquire about the movies that I've watched.

You want to know what's good
You're interested in finding out about good movies that I might suggest.

But she's the one that gets to go.
However, it's her you end up going with to watch those movies.

When I should.
When in fact, it should be me accompanying you.

Hey I've got something to say.
Hey, listen up. This is important.

I saw her wearing the black jacket I gave you on Christmas day.
I caught a glimpse of her wearing the black jacket that I gave you as a gift on Christmas day.

You said that you lost it.
But you claimed to have lost it.

Hey, don't go running away.
Hey, don't try to escape this conversation by leaving abruptly.

This is for every girl in love whose been bawling for a boy like you.
This is for every girl who's shed tears for a boy like you and knows the emotional pain.

I'm just the fool that you can kick around
I'm nothing more than the silly person that you mistreat.

The loser who picks up when you are down.
I'm the person you go to when you're down and in despair.

The girl in glasses who sits next to you
I am the bespectacled girl who sits next to you.

Who always tells that you're great
I'm the one who constantly reminds you of what an excellent person you are.

And fixes all your big mistakes.
I'm the one who resolves all of your significant blunders.

And when she goes and breaks your heart
And when the girl you like shatters your heart into pieces,

I get your call.
I'm the one you turn to for consolation.

You fall apart.
You're emotionally devastated.

Some day you'll realize I was the one.
One day, you'll recognize that I'm the one who was always there for you.

By then it's gonna be too late.
However, by that time, it will be too late to make amends.

You'll be sorry.
You'll regret your actions and decisions.

Hey, don't give me that face.
Hey, stop making that expression to try and deflect responsibility.

This is for every girl alive whose heart's been broken by a boy like you.
This is for every girl out there whose heart has been shattered by a guy like you and understands all too well the pain involved.

Loser.
An exclamation indicating disdain and a feeling of superiority towards the addressed party.
