Worst Case Scenario
Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooooh Ooooh Ooh Ooh
Never Paid Enough Attention
There's Some Things I Should Have Mentioned, Oh baby
Never Held You When We Kicked It
See The Times that's All You Needed
Didn't Notice All The Signs You Were Sending
Didn't Think Not For A Moment We'd Be Ending, No
Every Time That I Lie, Made You Cry,
Took A Sparkle From Your Eyes
And Erased Your Smile

Blackberry Blowin Up
Turn It Off
Just Wanna Be Alone
If It ain't You Then I'm Not Home
Heard he's Moving In And Your Moving On
Well Congratulations Baby

Someone Else Making Love To You
Its Killing Me To Think Of You In Bed With
Somebody New
Giving You That Extra Spark
Dipping In Your Goodie Jar
This Could Be By Far
The Worst Case Scenario

Someone Else Zipping Up Your Dress
Complimenting You On How You Look So Damn Sexy
Somebody Deep In Love
Could Turn Around And Mess It Up
This Could Be By Far
The Worst Case Scenario

(No more) Two Man's Face
(No Sex) In The Escalade
Me Watching Your Booty
While You Watching The Movie
(No Trips) To The West Indies
(No Chilling) In The VIP
And I can't Believe That Its Over,
It's Over, It's Over

Blackberry Blowin Up
Turn It Off
Just Wanna Be Alone
If It ain't You Then I'm Not Home
I Heard he's Moving In And Your Moving On
Well Congratulations Baby

Someone Else Making Love To You
Its Killing Me To Think Of You In Bed With
Somebody New
Giving You That Extra Spark
Dipping In Your Goodie Jar
This Could Be By Far

Someone Else Zipping Up Your Dress
Complimenting You On How You Look So Damn Sexy
Somebody Deep In Love
Could Turn Around And Mess It Up
This Could Be By Far
The Worst Case Scenario

Does He Call You Baby Girl
Can He Really Rock Your World
No one Can Do You The Way I Do
Can You Tell Me there's No Spark
Burning Inside Your Heart
I Do Believe, You Still Love Me

Someone Else Making Love To You
Its Killing Me To Think Of You In Bed With
Somebody New
Giving You That Extra Spark
Dipping In Your Goodie Jar
This Could Be By Far
The Worst Case Scenario

Someone Else Zipping Up Your Dress
Complimenting You On How You Look So Damn Sexy

Joe never let us down. This is one of those songs you just have to sit down & think on. Especially when you took advantage of someone being with you. You never know what you have til you see someone else with it
