Rick Rubin - I Found a Boy lyrics

[Verse 1] I thought I told you, he'd be home soon Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true I fall short each time, every time he ain't here You and your charm creep closer, closer and near Like a fool for fire, I fall, with my pride and all Like a bomb before explosion, ticking by your call You're the wiser one, disguised from greed And I'm just a child who longs on her knees [Hook] But I found a boy who I love more Than I ever did you before So stand beside the river I cried And lay yourself down Look how you want me now that I don't need you [Verse 2] So you thought that I'd crumble to my knees At the first sight of you crawling back to me To whisper, "Will you leave your man?" Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me I won't stand by you [Hook] Cause I found a boy who I love more Than I ever did you before So stand beside the river I cried And lay yourself down Look how you want me now that I don't need you [Bridge] I ain't yours for no taking You must be mistaken I could never look into your eyes And settle for wrong and ignore the right [Hook] When I found a boy who loves me more Than you ever did before So stand beside the river you cried And lay yourself down Look how you want me now, but I don't need you
