She was standing on the wrong corner
When things took a turn for the worse
He was driving by so slow
He might as well be going in reverseShe was looking for a free ride
He was looking for a hole to fill
She said, "don't you try and hold me here
Against my willAnd I'll stick around
Til something better
Comes along"
Something better might not never come onShe was wise beyond here years
And her lies he believed
She used to have friends in high places
Til they asked her to leaveShe wakes up feeling hollow
To another line in the sand
He's putty in her idle hands
She says, "I'll stick around
Til something better
Comes alongYeah, I'll stick around
Til something better
Til something better comes along"
Something better might not never come onHe pretended he was sleeping
He hears her whisper into the phone
She said, "I feel so alone
I can't take it any longer"He thought he could impress her
She picks her clothes up off the floor
She grabbed his wallet off the dresser
She gave him more than he bargained forYeah, I'll stick around
Til something better
Comes along
Yeah, I'll stick around
Til something better
Til something better comes along
Yeah, I'll stick around
Til something better
Til something better comes along
Yeah, I'll stick around
Til something better comes along
Something better might not never come on
