I’ll Stick Around

She was standing on the wrong corner

When everything took a turn for the worse

He was driving by so slow

He might have well been going in reverse

She was looking for a free ride

He was looking for a hole to fill

She said “don’t you try and hold me here against my will”

And I’ll stick around, ‘til something better, comes along

She’s wise beyond her years

And her lies he believed

She used to have friends in high places

‘til they asked her to leave

She woke up feeling hallow

To another line in the sand

He’s putty in her idle hands

She said I’ll stick around, ‘til something better, comes along

He pretended he was sleeping

He heard her whisper into the phone

She said “I feel so alone”

“I can’t take it any longer”

He thought he could impress her

She picked her clothes up off the floor

She grabbed his wallet off the dresser

She gave him more than he bargained for

She said I’ll stick around, ‘til something better, comes along
