Turn it off
I don't want to dance
It sounds just like you
And he's got your hands
You're big in small circles
Maybe big in France
But my country just never game a damn
It should've been you
But a singer without a song
Who never realized the night is long
When you're sober and out of luck
They'll steal your best lines and your haircut
It should've been you
Lying here with my younger man
He's good-looking but he doesn't understand
That who I am is not my clothes or my car
He's got no soul
But he's a rock star
It should've been you
And I know I'm a fair-weather fuck
I only want you when you're on top
I'm afraid when I feel your love
I turned away
But I'm not better off
It should've been you
