It's a long walk and the music is loud
Puts on her best smile
She's always done much better with boys anyway
And she's also hoping he won't
Secretly hoping that he'll be there watching
He'll never get you, he will never understand
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
But underneath it she's a broken girl
Even though she only has one or two
But she will always be a broken girl
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
This might be the time to break down
She struggles with an awful decision
This might be the time to break down
And dreaming of just having a man
Gripping tight the phone in her hand
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
Just in case he didn't want to go with her
Assuming she can make it that far
He'll never get you, he will never understand
He'll never get you, he will never understand
And disappears inside of her head
Holds her head high then gets in the car
She stops and waits until they go back in
She sees an old friend as she walks through the crowd
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
She sees an old friend as she walks through the crowd
Tells herself that no one will notice
But she will always be a broken girl
He'll never get you, he will never understand
Walking tentative alone up the driveway
She thought of maybe asking a girlfriend
He'll never get you, he will never understand
She sees an old friend as she walks through the crowd
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
She sees an old friend as she walks through the crowd
Sees some people smoking off to the side
Her father doesn't know what to say
It's a long walk and the music is loud
Stay at home or walk in alone
Her mother does her best to console her
He'll never get you, he will never understand
He'll never get you, he will never understand
Cupped hands whispering into ears
On the way she imagines reactions
This might be the time to break down
She asked him in a casual way
This might be the time to break down
Puts on her best smile
Crosses her fingers and follows behind
Turns around in front of the mirror
It's a long walk and the music is loud
Puts on her best smile
He'll never get you, he will never understand
But underneath it she's a broken girl
Puts on her makeup, puts on the new dress
So who needs girlfriends
This might be the time to break down
He'll never get you, he will never understand
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
Fighting back the rush of emotions
But it's a long walk and the music is loud
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
In that event she knew just what she would say
Puts on her best smile
She wonders if he'll even remember
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
Pacing nervous ‘cross the floor of her bedroom
