I wound up in the arms of a med student in Montreal one night, only to have his phone ring at 4am - the "ex" who he still lived with. Adios, amigo - I was outta there.

lyrics

I’ve had about enough of what you’re talking about
I can hear you just fine you don’t have to shout
You’re still so cute but baby I’m checkin out
I won’t bother you none I’ve had my fill
Don’t worry son I’ve paid the bill
Let’s walk away using some of that free will
It’s quite convenient that you skipped the detail
That you kinda have a girlfriend as in kinda real
So when the phone rang I knew I had to bail

chorus: Mama told me that you’d come along (hey hey hey hey)
Baby I don’t know if you’ll hear this song
But it’s for you – (ooh ooh ooh)
It’s what I do— (ooh ooh ooh)

Your looks and your mouth got us into this mess
So save it darlin you can keep it for the rest
What you got ain’t enough to keep me, I confess
I’ve come to think that most boys I meet
Will never reach man status or accept their defeat
It’s better to be single than joined to someone weak
I know that…
Boys will be boys – they might lie they might cheat
They can woo you on the dance floor and they won’t miss a beat
They’ll tell you what you want to hear and act sweet sweet sweet

chorus:

Don’t take me to your place and have your phone ring
Don’t tell me you’re a doctor and forget your wedding ring
I don’t like wasps and I really don’t like the sting
Show me a man who will climb the highest peak
Who will mesmerize my mind and adore me head to feet
A man who knows my value and his and loves me sweet

Hey cheater boy, you pretend to be deep
You appeared about the right time
The right time for me
Hey cheater boy you’re a bittersweet
Chocolate chip
Looking for a double dip
But you – can’t have anymore
No you — can’t have anymore

chorus:
