It sure looked good on paper until we read between the lines
It always hurts when you fight
You're running out of 'laters' and 'maybe next times'
When you can almost read her mindShe likes the romance, the slow dance
The staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights, all year round
Why put 'em up, take 'em down?She watches baseball, hates the mall
And hangs out with the guys
That's what I know about what she likes
About what she likesShe's all about the rainbow
But not the one on Sunset Boulevard
I got it wrong, she took it hard
And it really hurts to let go
When you're so close, to makin' it so farShe likes the romance, the slow dance
The staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights, all year round
Why put 'em up, take 'em down?She watches baseball, hates the mall
And hangs out with the guys
That's what I know about what she likes
About what she likesI should've known that I
Never could've known that I
Could ever know enough about her
To keep her mineShe likes the romance, the slow dance
That keeps me up all night
She likes the Christmas lights, all year round
And I just took 'em downShe watches baseball, hates the mall
And now I realized
What the hell do I know
About what she likesShe likes the romance, the slow dance
The staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights, all year round
Why put 'em up, take 'em down?She watches baseball, hates the mall
And hangs out with the guys
That's what she likes, na, na, na, na, na, na
That's what she likes, na, na, na, na, na
That's what she likes, that's what she likes
