Good Riddance - Slowly lyrics

She called me up all excited said she had a date With him Saturday night and she just can't wait I thought about his reputation & the things that he's done I woudn't wish him on anyone I said to her when you're with him better watch your step Because I know this boy he's got a pretty bad rep I only hope he doesn t end up bringing you down He's been breaking hearts all over town Slowly you can pick yourself back up When that situation's got you down again Slowly you can pick your self back up Girl you've got to save it for another day Because you don't need him anyway It's just a game they play I know this won't come easy girl I know that it's hard And deep down inside it leaves an awful scar And to say I told you so Won't help to ease the pain inside you so Just remember that there's plenty of boys out there Who could treat you much better And remember I care it just won't do to see you hurting so bad I knew that boy was going to leave you sad
