she never met somebody like him
He smart as a tack, she followed him back
He models, in fact
She ran away from what
was runnin' her back
Into the arms of the bad habits
He wonder way back when

She actually can't remember
where she saw him first

to settle for nine
Em 
Leaving one for  (E minor) the others

Don't think I was urgent to serve you
Link you with purpose an' turn you clean
You were washin',
G#m 
Em 
I  (G sharp minor) watched you and bought you to  (E minor) me
Bb 
B

He saw with imminent awe
The penitence, penalties gone

And I won't mention Him fallin'  (B major) off"
She says:
"Aw, man"
