You're on the phone with your boyfriend, he's upset He's going off about something that you said Cause he doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music he doesn't like And he'll never know your story like I do Ooh we called it off again last night But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us Walking the streets with you in your tight a** jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile That can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in awhile Since he brought you down You say you're fine ‒ I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a boy like that? Ooh we called it off again last night But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes And the flashback starts I'm standing there On a balcony in summer air See the lights See the party, the ball gowns I see you make your way through the crowd And say hello, little did I know ..this is so exausting I'm telling you, I'm telling you I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
