He'll never get you, you can find a better man
He'll never get you, he will never understand

This might be the time to break down
She struggles with an awful decision
But underneath it she's a broken girl
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
He'll never get you, he will never understand
She's always done much better with boys anyway
Walking tentative alone up the driveway
It's a long walk and the music is loud
Her mother does her best to console her

She asked him in a casual way
She stops and waits until they go back in
Secretly hoping that he'll be there watching

Puts on her makeup, puts on the new dress

Pacing nervous ‘cross the floor of her bedroom
Puts on her best smile
This might be the time to break down
She wonders if he'll even remember

He'll never get you, you can find a better man
But underneath it she's a broken girl
He'll never get you, he will never understand
But she will always be a broken girl
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
But she will always be a broken girl

Sees some people smoking off to the side
And she's also hoping he won't
He'll never get you, he will never understand
This might be the time to break down

He'll never get you, he will never understand
On the way she imagines reactions
Turns around in front of the mirror
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
Tells herself that no one will notice
Her father doesn't know what to say

She thought of maybe asking a girlfriend
This might be the time to break down

And disappears inside of her head
In that event she knew just what she would say
She sees an old friend as she walks through the crowd
He'll never get you, he will never understand
But it's a long walk and the music is loud
Fighting back the rush of emotions

So who needs girlfriends
It's a long walk and the music is loud

Cupped hands whispering into ears
It's a long walk and the music is loud
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
Crosses her fingers and follows behind
He'll never get you, he will never understand
He'll never get you, he will never understand
Hush child, don't make a sound
Even though she only has one or two
Gripping tight the phone in her hand
Puts on her best smile
She sees an old friend as she walks through the crowd

Stay at home or walk in alone

Holds her head high then gets in the car

Puts on her best smile
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
He'll never get you, he will never understand
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
And dreaming of just having a man
He'll never get you, you can find a better man
This might be the time to break down
Puts on her best smile
Assuming she can make it that far

Just in case he didn't want to go with her
She sees an old friend as she walks through the crowd
She sees an old friend as she walks through the crowd
