[Verse 1]
Somebody told me they saw you with her
They even called out my name
Thinking I was that girl
She wears the same kind of makeup
And the same colour hair
Well, she's a wannabe me
And she's even got it down to the clothes I wear
[Pre-Chorus]
So you can try to replace me
And start all over again
But what you just don't understand
[Chorus]
You had it right the first time
But you weren't satisfied
I gave you all of me
So you had no reason to think twice
You had it right the first time
But you were so blind
Cause there'll never be no better me to find
You had it right the first time
[Verse 2]
She can wear the same perfume
And she can hold your hand
Yeah, she can make you smile, but not the way I can
I hope she doesn't get used to being so attached
'Cause she will never be me, no
So it just won't last
[Pre-Chorus]
So you can try to upgrade me
Yeah, you can dream like that
But you might as well face the fact
[Chorus]
You had it right the first time
But you weren't satisfied
I gave you all of me
So you had no reason to think twice
You had it right the first time
But you were so blind
Cause there'll never be no better me to find
You had it right the first time
[Bridge]
You can keep searchin' around
Thinkin' that we're all the same
But I'll always be the best you found
And that’s one thing that just won't change
'Cause there'll never be no better me, oh no
No, there'll never be no better me, oh no
[Chorus]
You had it right the first time
But you weren't satisfied
I gave you all of me
So you had no reason to think twice
You had it right the first time
But you were so blind
'Cause there'll never be no better me to find, no
'Cause there'll never be no better me to find
I know I gotta tell you
There'll never be no better me to find
You had it right the first time
