Shoulda seen that girl on the radio
Made me think of the time
I tried to rhyme
And failed miserably that time
On the radio
Passed the time
Shoulda seen me trying to talk to you
So you'd think I was cool
But I'm not
And I guess you found that out
On the radio
Passed the time
Said I'd tell you everything
Or every but that one thing
I tried to weasel my way out
You shouldn't have found out that way
I shoulda sat you down and explained
I thought that there would be no way
You'd find out on the radio
Shoulda seen me sink not swim
Made me think of a rat
That's trying to climb
Even though it know it's doomed
On the radio
Passed the time
Shoulda heard me - what a fool
Made me think of the time
I tried to rhyme
And failed miserably that time
On the radio
Passed the time
Said I'd tell you everything
Or every but that one thing
I tried to weasel my way out
You shouldn't have found out that way
I shoulda sat you down and explained
I thought that there would be no way
You'd find out on the radio
