Wanting to win all the time
Makes you not very good to be around
I saw you on the stairs
The party was over
You smiled at me and I knew
Then he took you home
It’s not me
It’s never me
I’m always there ready to be
Whatever you need me to be
I wrote you secret messages
Inside books you you wrote for me
I tried every trick I could think of
How to win you back
But it’s not me
It’s never me
I’m always there ready to be
Whatever you need me to be
Sitting on the steps
The party’s over
We’re both older now
Our kids could be friends
You tell me you need me
I’m lost for a moment
The moonlight falls on your eyes
And for a second I’m back again.
It’s not me
It’s never me
I was always there
Whenever you need me to be
