lyrics

Ah girl I know you keep your standards high
But he ignores you and you want to die, I don't know why
He never looks at you
You might as well be see through
And I can't stand to see you cry

So if you can't have him, have me
Yeah if you can't have him, have me

When he stops talking he stops thinking
When he stops thinking he starts drinking as you sink into despair
He never looks at you
He doesn't care like I do
And I can't stand to see you cry

if you can't have him, have me
if you can't have him, have me
if you can't have him have ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
yeah have ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ah girl I know he kicks the ball so well
You dream a day will come when he will tell you are his belle
But he never looks at you
You might as well be see through
But I know how to make things swell

If you can't have him have me
if you can't have him have ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
