Cover Song Lyrics

You and me a perfect scene
Girl I never thought that I would be
Broken as this old barstool
Sippin to forget just to think of you
The band in the back at the end of he night
Got everybody singin' to Sweet Caroline
But ain't nothin' sweet about you
And girl I ain't singing along

Should've known better than thought
Thought it was right but I read it wrong
Didn't think you would come back
And leave again just to lead me on
Wouldn't have let you do it
If I thought it was goin' on
All along you knew it
You played me like a cover song

We were gonna find us a place
A spot on a lot or right out of town
We were gonna make a home
The porch swing hangin' on a wrap around
With a black lab sittin' in the back of the Dodge
Ain't no room in the two car garage
We were gonna build a house
But someone else is gonna build it now
Should've known better than thought
Thought it was right but I read it wrong
Didn't think you would come back
And leave again just to lead me on
Wouldn't have let you do it
If I thought it was goin' on
All along you knew it
You played me like a cover song

Should've known better than thought
Thought it was right but I read it wrong
Didn't think you would come back
And leave again just to lead me on

Should've known better than thought
Thought it was right but I read it wrong
Didn't think you would come back
And leave again just to lead me on
Wouldn't have let you do it
If I thought it was goin' on
All along you knew it
You played me like a cover song

On and on and on
On and on and on
You played me like a cover song
On and on and on
On and on and on
You played me like a cover song

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
