Girl, I must confess

When I got him, he was a mess

But I swear he's making progress

All the time, time

He's not there but he's learning

And I can feel the tables turning

I bet he'll be a better version

When he's not mine, mine.

It's sad but it's true

It's just something we do

We teach him how to walk and then he runs, runs

Love's cruel

But it's cool

For me, he might not be the right one

But I made him the right one

For someone.

I taught him to open up

Not be afraid to give his love

He just needs a little shove

And he'll be fine, fine

As crazy as it seems

I took one for the team

Now he's someone else's dream

And not mine, mine.

It's sad but it's true

It's just something we do

We teach him how to walk and then he runs, runs

Love's cruel

But it's cool

For me, he might not be the right one

But I made him the right one

For someone.

I won't be jealous, no, I won't be bitter

If I'm out somewhere and I see him with her

'cause I like to believe

Someone's doin' that for me.

It's sad but it's true

It's just something we do

We teach him how to walk and then he runs, runs

Love's cruel

But it's cool

For me, he might not be the right one

But I made him the right one

For someone

Someone, someone.
