He likes her better than me

Everybody here tonight could see

He liked her

Better than me

Couldn't even get in the dance

In fact I didn't stand a chance

Clearly

It was her not me

That's the way I'm going down

Growing a town

That was my worst round

A classed, comfort pound

I can't compete on the streets

I haven't got the heat

Can't keep up with the beat

Like I should

This neighborhood

I thought I had nothing to prove

Than the bouncer made me move

And that little piece of fluff

Moved in on and ran with the groove

That's the way I'm going down

Watch me now

As I hit the ground

Take a look around

You see me?

That's the way I'm going down

Put a padlock on my door

They're closing me down

Hide in the best hotel in town

Sometimes do you ever get the feeling

It's all over

Sometimes do you ever get the feeling
