[Verse 1]
I met a girl named Tara
She lived in the heart of America
She liked black caddies
Listened to Puff Daddy
Danced until her legs were sore
She worked around the corner
At the diner with the grouchy owner
And her boyfriend's shady, dates another girl named Katie
He loves her definitely maybe

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't think I can take it
Wake me when it's over
Seems so far away
I wish that it was closer
I see her every day
I'm too scared to go over
I wonder what she'd say
I barely even know her

[Chorus]
And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing when I'm singing myself to sleep
Cause he's a faker
So see ya later
I wonder when you'll realize that she means a lot more to me
[Verse 2]
I saw you in the hallway when my last class was just over
It was Friday, school was out tonight
Everything seems to be alright
I said, "Yo, are you going to the party at the cove?"
She said "He's picking me up at six again
And I don't wanna disappoint my boyfriend."

[Chorus]
And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing when I'm singing myself to sleep
Cause he's a faker
So see ya later
I wonder when you'll realize that she means a lot more to me

[Bridge]
And she's staring at his picture hanging in her locker
She's telling all the girls about all the things that he bought her
I saw what really happened all those times he went for water
When we were at the movie theater watching Harry Potter
He had his hands on
Every single girl he laid his eyes on
Hate to break it to you, he's a pile-on
And even when he kissed her
He was looking over, staring at her sister
[Chorus]
And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing when I'm singing myself to sleep
Cause he's a faker
So see ya later
I wonder when she'll realize that she means a lot more to me
