Cheerleaders and Jocks

[Intro]
Ah-ha

[Verse 1]
You're keeping your poise
I'm good at being someone you avoid
I'm tryna work out how deep it is
Like, is this what I think it is?
You love me, leave me, lose me like a childhood toy

[Pre-Chorus]
You call me all alone
When everybody's there, I get the tone
Telling Stacy I'm just a friend
Like you were indifferent
But I've seen the ceiling of your room at night
You two seem legitimate
Publicly intimate
I bet she gives you something, and it's nothing I'm like

[Chorus]
I'll nеver be your white pickеt fence (Ah-ha)
No, I don't want your all-American
Your cheerleaders and jocks
Can you connect the dots
With your 2.5 kids conceived in parking lots? (Ah-ha, ah-ha)
So, go ahead and make your parents proud (Ah-ha)
Marry the girl that's living two doors down
When you're done ticking the box
Tied yourself in a knot
You'll regret it then (You'll regret it then)
That you ever gave me up

[Post-Chorus]
Mm
And, like, honestly, for what?
What? What?

[Verse 2]
Just one little dance (Oh-oh, oh)
Is all I wanted, you don't understand (No)
You're spiking punch with the lettermans
Pretending you're one of them
But, baby, your cologne is on my collar and pants

[Pre-Chorus]
You didn't have to break my heart at the party (At the party)
Leave me with a kiss before you discard me
Telling Stacy I'm just a friend
Like you were indifferent
But you saw a side of me no one else knows
You two seem legitimate
Publicly intimate
I bet she gives you something, but you're kind of a trope
Blah, ha-ha

[Chorus]
I'll never be your white picket fence (White picket fence / Ah-ha)
No, I don't want your all-American
Your cheerleaders and jocks
Can you connect the dots
With your 2.5 kids conceived in parking lots? (Ah-ha, ah-ha)
So, go ahead and make your parents proud (Ah-ha)
Marry the girl that's living two doors down
When you're done ticking the box (Ticking the box)
Tied yourself in a knot
You'll regret it then (You'll regret it then)
That you ever gave me up

[Bridge]
And all for what?
Regret it then
You gave me up
But maybe in
About twenty years
You'll come back to us
You'll reminisce
But it's never good enough
Ha-ha-ha
And, like, honestly, for what?
Woah-oh, oh-oh, ooh

[Chorus]
I'll never be your white picket fence (Ah-ha)
No, I don't want your all-American (I don't want your, your)
Your cheerleaders and jocks
Can you connect the dots (Connect the dots)
With your 2.5 kids conceived in parking lots? (Ah-ha, ah-ha)
So, go ahead and make your parents proud (Ah-ha)
Marry the girl that's living two doors down
When you're done ticking the box
Tied yourself in a knot
You'll regret it then (You'll regret it then), ooh
That you ever gave—
You'll regret it then
That you ever gave me up

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
And, like, honestly, for what? For what? For what? For what?
