A Version of Events Lyrics

She said she wanted to be the first female president
they talked about her ex and how she wished they'd never met
and that night at home the strangest thoughts began to occur to him
was it possible he loved her with the heart he just discovered
he didn't know but he knew he wanted to know
He promised he'd never lie to her again but of course he did
and beg forgiveness every time
she couldn't stay out of the clubs meeting with her questionable friends
they'd rendezvous inside their room the lights were low before the screams
full of vitriol and anguish slamming doors when fists hit tables
she didn't want to go
he didn't want her to go
After all that they been through the constant struggles and tragic news
not tonight she's not leaving him tonight
she was done with desperate men they won't be seeing her again
not tonight she's not leaving him tonight

She said she wanted to give him what she represents
a chance to start over again
and now they're happy
with the people they've discovered
they've found their best friends and their lovers
she didn't want to go
he didn't want her to go
After all that they been through the constant struggles and tragic news
not tonight she's not leaving him tonight
she was done with desperate men they won't be seeing her again
not tonight she's not leaving him tonight
