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