[Verse 1]
Girl, I must confess
When I got him, he was a mess
But I swear he's makin' progress
All the time, time
He's not there, but he's learnin'
And I can feel the tables turnin'
I bet he'll be a better version
When he's not mine, mine

[Chorus]
It's sad, but it's true
It's just something we do
We teach him how to walk
And then he runs, runs
Love's cruel
But it's cool
For me, he might not be the right one
But I made him the right one for someone

[Post-Chorus]
(Someone, someone)

[Verse 2]
I taught him to open up
Not be afraid to give his love
He just needs a little shove
And he'll be fine, fine
As crazy as it seems
I took one for the team
Now he's someone else's dream
And not mine, mine

[Chorus]
It's sad, but it's true
It's just something we do
We teach him how to walk
And then he runs, runs
Love's cruel
But it's cool
For me, he might not be the right one
But I made him the right one for someone

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ooh

[Bridge]
I won't be jealous, no, I won't be bitter
If I'm out somewhere and I see him with her
'Cause I'd like to believe
Someone's doin' that for me

[Chorus]
It's sad, but it's true
It's just something we do
We teach him how to walk
And then he runs, runs
Love's cruel
But it's cool
For me, he might not be the right one
But I made him the right one for someone

[Post-Chorus]
Someone, someone
