Lyrics
John Hughes Movie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This wasn't how it's supposed to go
I should be the one you're dancing with
Spinning with a vodka coke
Everybody at my fingertips
I was gonna get my coat
And baby you were meant to follow me
And I was gonna act surprised
Even though I'd know you wanted me
It's not like I've been crying, no
There's just smoke in my eyes
'Cause this ain't no John Hughes movie
Where the girl gets the guy
You look right through me
Every time you walk by
I keep waiting for the heartbreak music
That's never gonna come
'Cause if you don't want me
Then you're not the one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Sitting on a bathroom floor
Trying to get my composure back
Think I built it up too tall
Knew I should've worn my Adidas
Maybe if I'd reined it in
You wouldn't wanna kiss somebody else
And you don't owe me anything
So I'm just gonna walk home by myself
And it's not like I've been crying, no
There's just smoke in my eyes
'Cause this ain't no John Hughes movie
Where the girl gets the guy
You look right through me
Every time you walk by
I keep waiting for the heartbreak music
That's never gonna come
'Cause if you don't want me
Then you're not the one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh no no you're not the one
What am I gonna say?
What am I gonna do?
All of our stupid friends
Know that I'm here for you
Guess I misunderstood
Thought you liked me too
What am I gonna say?
What am I gonna do?
Everyone told me so
Don't wait around for you
Guess I misunderstood
Thought you liked me too
'Cause this ain't no John Hughes movie
Where the girl gets the guy
You look right through me
Every time you walk by
I keep waiting for the heartbreak music
That's never gonna come
'Cause if you don't want me
Then you're not the one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh no no you're not the one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh no no you're not the one
You're not the one, not the one, no
You're not the one, not the one, no
Not the one, no
Oh no no you're not the one
You're not the one, not the one, no
You're not the one, not the one, no
'Cause if you don't want me
Then you're not the one
