I met a girl named Tara she lived in the heart of America
She liked black caddies listened to puff daddy
Danced until her legs were sore

She worked around the corner at a diner with a grouchy owner
And her boyfriend, shady, dates another girl named Katie
He loves her definitely maybe

Don't think I can take it wake me when it's over so far away
I wish that it was closer I see her every day
I'm too scared to go over I wonder what she'd say
I barely even know her

And how much longer will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing when I'm singing myself to sleep
'Cause he's a faker so see ya later
I wonder when you'll realize that she means a lot more to me

I saw you in the hallway when my last class was just over
It was Friday, school was out tonight everything seems to be alright
I said yo are you going to the party at the cove
She said he's picking me up six again
And I don't wanna disappoint my boyfriend

And how much longer will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing when I'm singing myself to sleep
'Cause he's a faker so see ya later
I wonder when you'll realize that she means a lot more to me

And she's staring at his picture hanging in her locker
She's telling all the girls about all the things that he bought her
I saw what really happened all those times he went for water

When we were at the movie theater watching harry potter
He had his hands on
Every single girl he laid his eyes on to break it to you, hes a pile on
And even when he kissed her he was looking over, staring at her sister

And how much longer will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing when I'm singing myself to sleep
'Cause he's a faker so see ya later
I wonder when you'll realize that she means a lot more to me

I met a girl named Tara, she lived in the heart of America
She liked black caddies, listened to puff daddy
Danced until her legs were sore
