Verse

Chorus

Interlude/Pre-chorus:

Never thought that I could feel such a slap in the face

Since my semester in New York where I drank it away

Social strategies are taught to bohemian crowds

And my love was like a food stamp handing it out

Though I fell in love with you, all fey and grizzled and mature

You left me naked, pining, whining on you bathroom floor

If it makes you jealous tell us just which boy we should adore

And we talk about myself so I don't mind that he's a bore

He's like a less cute version of you

But he'll have to do

He's like a Wal-Mart version of you

But he'll have to do

He'll have to do

Mountain man, brag about your band to me

You got me hot with all those snide remarks about my poetry

But he gobbles up every single line about the stars

And how they scar my slightly chubby arms like brightly light cigars

So now, he's next to me

And I can feel you in my heart

You're everything

You're everything he'll never be

It's misery, and more specifically

I miss that day you spit on me

He's like a less cute version of you

But he'll have to do

He's like a Wal-Mart version of you

But he'll have to do

He'll have to do

He's like a less cute version of you

But he'll have to do

He's like a Wal-Mart version of you

But he'll have to do

He'll have to do

He has no inkling of your status or mind

He's just the glow that I splatter to bind

You and I like siamese twins

So let the sick sad game begin

Now, you're here again

And he will wonder where I've been

I'm giving in

But in my own opinion

That's how to be

Though I can hear him singing

All this envy's killing me

He's like a less cute version of you

But he'll have to do

He's like a Wal-Mart version of you

But he'll have to do

He'll have to do

He's like a less cute version of you

But he'll have to do

He's like a Wal-Mart version of you

But he'll have to do

He'll have to do
