[Verse 1]
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times
But somehow, I want more
[Chorus]
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
[Post-Chorus]
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
[Verse 2]
Tap on my window, knock on my door, I
Want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
Doesn't matter anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come any time you want, yeah
[Chorus]
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
[Post-Chorus]
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
[Bridge]
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and makes me catch her
Every time she falls, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Tap on my window, knock on my door, I
Want to make you feel beautiful
[Chorus]
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
[Post-Chorus]
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
(Please don't try so hard to say goodbye)
And she will be loved
[Outro]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh)
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
(I don't mind spending every day, ooh)
(Out on your corner in the pouring rain)
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
