I read you wrong
|
You said you'd only be away a while
|
But the days turned into weeks
|
and the weeks into miles, baby why?
|
You could've told me you were tellin' me goodbye
|
Could've come clean and let me walk away in style
|
|
Funny thing is.....
|
While I was missin' you
|
While I was figurin "what was I gonna do?"
|
|
I got wise
|
I got hip
|
I caught on to your tricks
|
I got over it real quick yeah baby
|
while you were gone
|
Now I'm cool
|
Can't you tell?
|
Feel so good about myself
|
Funny thing happened to me baby
|
While you were gone
|
|
You look surprised
|
Like no one ever left you and survived
|
But leavin' me alone
|
Has kinda opened my eyes
|
Baby you, you gave me the time
|
To find somebody new
|
and I found strength inside of me I never knew
|
|
Funny thing is
|
While he was holding me
|
While he was showing me how it's supposed to be
|
|
I got wise
|
I got hip
|
I caught on to your tricks
|
I got over it real quick yeah baby
|
While you were gone
|
Now I'm cool
|
Can't you tell?
|
Feel so good about myself
|
Funny thing happened to me baby
|
While you were gone
|
|
Didn't break
|
Didn't cry
|
I just tell my head I'm fine
|
I learned how to say goodbye
|
While you were gone
|
I had time on my hands
|
Boy what don't you understand?
|
Funny thing happened to me baby
|
While you were gone
|
|
oh... oh...
|
while you were gone I learned how to get along
|
while he was gone I got strong
|
|
While he was holdin me
|
While he was showin me
|
how it's supposed to be, oh oh whoa
|
|
|
Didn't break
|
Didn't cry
|
I just tell my head I'm fine
|
I learned how to say goodbye
|
While you were gone
|
I had time on my hands
|
Boy what don't you understand?
|
Funny thing happened to me baby
|
While you were gone
|
|
|
I got wise
|
I got hip
|
I caught on to your tricks
|
I got over it real quick yeah baby
|
While you were gone
|
Now I'm cool
|
Can't you tell?
|
Feel so good about myself
|
Funny thing happened to me baby
|
While you were gone
|
|
|
repeat til fade
