I thought you were a sweetheart
Turns out you're just a big a**hole like me
And you said "I wanna ruin her life"
I thought maybe you could just let this one be
Just let this one be
'Cause you've had girls flocking to your feet
Since you were sixteen
And you picked up that guitar
Learned how to play like Buddy Holly
And sing so sweetly
And you've had boys talking on the street
Since you were sixteen
And you picked up that guitar
Learned how to move like Elvis Presley
And croon so smoothly
So you could just let this one be
Maybe you could just let this one be
And I promise
You'll have girls flocking to your feet
When you're 60
And you'll pick up that guitar
You'll still play like Buddy Holly
You'll still sing sweetly
You'll still have boys talking on the street
When you're 80
And you'll pick up that guitar
You'll still move like Elvis Presley
And croon so smoothly
So you could just let this one be
Maybe you could just let this one be
