Girl Across The Room

He's got everything I ever wanted

Cause all I ever wanted was you.

He must have known what to say

Cause God knows I didn't know what to do.

Thinking about checking myself into the institution

Cause I can't get you out of my mind

It's like I'm Leonardo and I'm painting Mona Lisa

But I can't even call her mine.

He must have sent you flowers

He must have asked you to dance

From where I stood,

He must have done all the things that a good man should.

I never thought that he was the one you'd end up with

Cause I thought you would end up with me.

I guess I come from the school of love

Where the teacher says it comes for free

But did you know, I still remember when you smiled at me

With a big red coffee cup

And I realize we never talked but from what I saw

I thought that we fell in love.

But he must have took you out, yeah

He must have held your hand

From where I stood

He must have done all the things that a good man should.

Yesterday, I saw your picture in the paper

Guess you finally went and took his eyes in anger.

So I keep swimming in my sea of fish

But there is always one thing I always

I probably should have sent you flowers

I probably should have let you in

I probably should have told you girl

That I love that dress you're wearing

From where I stood

He must have done all the things that a good man should.
