For a moment, I really thought you loved me

You said the three words and I believed

But now I'm sitting here crying, feeling crazy

'cause I was crossing my fingers for forever

And you were ready to leave.

Oh, it's boys like you who burn girls like me

You take our whole heart, then give it back piece by piece

Leave us to fix it up with a lock and a chain

And then the good guys wonder why we're so jaded

Well, I blame it on boys like you.

Silly me, so naive to fall to victim

I should've seen the heartbreak trail that you left behind

And now I really hate it for the next guy, if he tries

To love me

I'll be blaming him for your goodbye.

Oh, it's boys like you who burn girls like me

You take our whole heart, then give it back piece by piece

Leave us to fix it up with a lock and a chain

And then the good guys wonder why we're so jaded

Well, I blame it on boys like you.

You had it all

My heart, my soul

Couldn't you have given it back

Before you hit the road?

And it's boys like you who burn girls like me, yeah

You take our whole heart and you give it back piece by piece, oh

Leave us to fix it up with a lock and a chain

And then the good guys wonder why we're so jaded

Well, I blame it on boys like you

Oh, yes I do.
