I met a girl named Tara
She lived in the heart of America
She liked black caddies
Listened to Puff Daddy
Danced until her legs were sore

She worked around the corner
At the diner with the grouchy owner
And her boyfriend's shady
Dates another girl named Katie
He loves her definitely maybe

Don't think I can take it
Wake me when it's over
So far away
I wish that it was closer

I see you every day
I'm too scared to go over
I wonder what she'd say
I barely even know her

And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing
When I'm singing myself to sleep

'Cause he's a faker
So see ya later
I wonder when you realize
That she means a lot more to me

I saw you in the hallway
When my last class was just over
It was Friday, school was out tonight
Everything seems to be all right

I said, "Yo
Are you going to the party at the cove?"
He's picking me up six again
And I don't wanna disappoint my boyfriend

And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing
When I'm singing myself to sleep

'Cause he's a faker
So see ya later
I wonder when you realize
That she means a lot more to me

And she's staring at his picture
Hanging in her locker
She's telling all the girls
About all the things that he bought her

I saw what really happened
All those times he went for water
When we were at the movie theater
Watching Harry Potter

He had his hands on
Every single girl he laid his eyes on
Hate to break it to you, he's a pylon
And even when he kissed her
He was looking over, staring at her sister
