[Verse 1]
A small-town no one, a young love-a-holic
A late-night drunk text left unacknowledged
A number I saved knowing I'll never call it
A "just this once" if you want it
[Pre-Chorus]
But that was the old me
Baby, I'm so glad you didn't know me
Innocent enough, oh I was lonely
But I don't feel the same with you
[Chorus]
Slicked-back hair and the skinny jeans
The type I tell you that "I love you" then get up and leave
And I was in and I was out and never in between, oh-oh
And then you crash right in through an open door
And suddenly I'm having feelings that I didn't before
And no, I didn't see it coming, but I know where it's going, oh
[Verse 2]
You said, "Burn your clothes, thanks for the note"
Politely hated everything I own
(So) Out of my league (Yes), pretty please
I'll be whoever you want me to be
[Pre-Chorus]
But the old me
Baby, I'm so glad you didn't know me
Innocent enough, oh I was lonely
But I don't feel the same with you
[Chorus]
Slicked-back hair and the skinny jeans
The type I tell you that "I love you" then get up and leave
And I was in and I was out and never in between, oh-oh
And then you crash right in through an open door
And suddenly I'm having feelings that I didn't before
And no, I didn't see it coming, but I know where it's going, oh
[Bridge]
Only God can judge me, comically unlucky
You just seem so lovely, can I stay with you?
Only God can judge me, comically unlucky
You just seem so lovely, can I stay with you?
[Chorus]
Slicked-back hair and the skinny jeans
The type I tell you "I love you" then get up and leave
And I was in and I was out and never in between, oh-oh
And then you crash right in through an open door
And suddenly I'm having feelings that I didn't before
And no, I didn't see it coming, but I know where it's going, oh
[Outro]
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da
