You had us all fooled for a little while
With your silly little crooked L.A. smile
But she caught on just a little too late
You had practically moved in by the second date
But who could really blame you

Everybody's guilty of that kinda thing sometimes
Maybe you'll be smarter if you get a second try

It could be worse, could be better
We could hold you to the letter
We could keep you to your word
It could be worse, could be better
Yeah, you thought you could forget her
For what it's worth, take my word
It could be worse

I guess, you had it all figured out
Oh, but you underestimated the power of doubt
And when I got my chance I didn't hold back
I told her what I thought of your little escapades and
Then I helped her pack but who could really blame me

Everybody's guilty of that kinda thing sometimes
Maybe you'll be smarter if you get a second try

It could be worse, could be better
We could hold you to the letter
We could keep you to your word
It could be worse, could be better
Yeah, you thought you could forget her
For what it's worth, take my word
It could be worse

Everybody's guilty of that kinda thing sometimes
Maybe you'll be smarter if you get a second try

It could be worse, could be better
We could hold you to the letter
We could keep you to your word
It could be worse, could be better
Yeah, you thought you could forget her
For what it's worth, take my word
It could be worse
