Lyrics
Well, I wanted you
I wanted no one else
I thought it through
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got onto me
I got caught up
In favorable slavery

I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
'Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons

Well, you know my friends
They know your enemies
And I'd pretend
Not to hear what they said to me
'Cause I got off
Every time you got onto me
Was it wrong
To go along with insanity?

I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
'Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons

I guess it wasn't what, it wasn't really what I thought
I thought it was the day I got, I want it all to go away
I guess it wasn't what, it wasn't really what I thought
I thought it was the day I got, I want it all to go away
I guess it wasn't what, it wasn't really what I thought
I thought it was the day I got, I want it all to go away
I guess it wasn't what, it wasn't really what I thought
I thought it was the day I got, I want it all to go away

I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
'Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
