You shouldn't've even been talking to me
If I knew then what I know now
You would always vamp
Yet at the band hangout Ruth's restaurant
You already looked like a whole different person
Because it was haunting me
Hidden in your instrument case
We would be practically making out
The very next time I ever laid eyes on you
I didn't go to your graduation
Second period science lab
You never played the part as it was written
Mocking the tuba parts
Just like much older sister
And I had to throw my yearbook in the dumpster
If I knew then what I know now
It was practically Christmas
Just a lowly freshman
In your upper register
You always had a little something
Once you soaked a tampon in some serious vodka
You was always cracking me up
And you the undisputed queen of the senior class
We got our burgers for free
Wore it to school
Without question
On the bus home from the way games
I just couldn't find the strength
We sat together in a corner booth
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
Messing with the band director
I still never, never, never would've
You fell right off your stool
Because you was kin to Ruth
