You walked in with a friend Like a cliché girl in a corner booth Tight black jeans with the tennis shoes I saw you, you saw me I asked your name Bought you a drink And you downed that thing with an attitude And you made fun of my tattoos And we agreed to disagree From the second that I saw you, girl, I knew That sometimes there ain't a thing a man can do It's a tale as old as time Guy sees the girl, girl gets the guy They've been out here stealing hearts for way too long Girl, you had me at hello How was I supposed to know You were writing my next sad song You took me back to your hometown And your daddy said don't fuck it up When I told him that you might be the one That gets me down on one knee From the second that I saw you girl I knew That sometimes there ain't a thing a man can do It's a tale as old as time Guy sees the girl, girl gets the guy They've been out here stealing hearts for way too long Girl, you had me at hello How was I supposed to know You were writing my next sad song Every kiss, every goodnight, every good morning It was too good to be true but I ignored it Oh, I ignored it It's a tale as old as time Guy sees the girl, girl gets the guy They've been out here stealing hearts for way too long, oh Girl, you had me at hello How was I supposed to know You were writing my next sad song Girl, I can't be mad at you There's no way you ever knew You were writing my next sad song Oh, you were writing my next My next sad song
