A friend gave me your number
To tell you watch your lover"s tracks
See I always kind of liked you
So, I wanna have your back
There is a good chance by the time you hear this
The story"s gonna say
That I came on to him
But it was never quite that way
I knew he was good looking
Maybe too good to be true
But when he kissed me in that alley
I could tell there was a you
[Chorus]
I don"t want to be that girl
With your guy
To fool you
Make you cry
Wreck it all
For one night
To be with him when he should be with you
I don"t want all the dirty looks
The headlines
So, I called you
To explain why
I wound up
With your guy
When I don"t wanna be that girl
I know boys can be promiscuous
Yeah, that"s just what they do
But this involves the both of us
Yeah, it"s our business too
So, I thought I"d call to tell you
It was never in my plan
I"m not the scarlet Devil
I don"t want to take your man
Imagine how surprised I was
When he got up to leave
It wasn"t my name on his lips
No, he didn"t call for me
He didn"t say, Jolene
I don"t want to be that girl
With your guy
To fool you
Make you cry
Wreck it all
For one night
To be with him when he should be with you
I don"t want all the dirty looks
The headlines
So, I called you
To explain why
I wound up
With your guy
When I don"t wanna be that girl
We all know how the moral of the story goes
Be careful what you reap because you reap what you sow
I"m calling "cause I really thought you should know
Even though he"s being that guy
I don"t want to be that girl
With your guy
To fool you
Make you cry
Wreck it all
For one night
To be with him when he should be with you
I don"t want all the dirty looks
The headlines
So, I called you
To explain why
I wound up
With your guy
When I don"t wanna be that girl
To tell you watch your lover"s tracks
See I always kind of liked you
So, I wanna have your back
