[Intro]
Ha (Ha)
Ha (Ha)
[Verse 1]
Whatcha been doin'? Whatcha been doin'?
Whoa, whoa, haven't seen ya around
How you been feelin'? How you been feelin'?
Whoa, whoa, don't you bring me down
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All that stuff about me
Being with him, can't believe
All the lies that you told
Just to ease your own soul
But I'm bigger than that
No, you don't have my back
No, no (Ha)
[Chorus]
Hey, how long 'til the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long 'til you face what's going on?
'Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm sorry that he called me (Uh)
And that I answered the telephone
Don't be worried, I'm not with him
And when I go out tonight, I'm goin' home alone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just got back from my tour
I'm a mess, girl for sure
All I want is some fun
Guess that I'd better run
Hollywood sucks you in, but it won't spit me out
Whoa, whoa (Ha)
[Chorus]
Hey, how long 'til the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long 'til you face what's going on?
'Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend
[Chorus 2]
Hey, how long 'til you look at your own life
'Stead of looking into mine?
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long 'til you're leaving me alone?
Don't you got somewhere to go?
I didn't steal your boyfriend
[Refrain]
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Ha)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Ha)
[Bridge]
Please stop telling all your friends
I'm getting sick of them
Always staring at me like I took him from ya (Ha)
[Chorus]
Hey, how long 'til the music drowns you out?
(How long?)
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long 'til you face what's going on?
(How long? How long?)
'Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend
[Chorus 2]
Hey, how long 'til you look at your own life
'Stead of looking into mine?
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long 'til you're leaving me alone?
(How long? How long?)
Don't you got somewhere to go?
I didn't steal your boyfriend
[Outro]
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Ha)
Whoa, I didn't steal your boyfriend
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Ha)
Whoa, I didn't steal your boyfriend
