lyrics

All your friends that say they're mine
I don't know where they come from
talking more and sleeping less
that don't make them right all the time

Well you sure are the one to talk
what doesn't get you riled up?
wasting time all by yourself
that don't make you right all the time

Every girl I've ever loved had
scarlet fever
and I've been halfway round the world
but I still believe in her

But I don't remember anyone
who ever listened to what I said
I don't remember anyone
who had the nerve to call me out
what do you do when I'm away
girl, what do you do when I'm gone?
what do you do with your time?

Tell me the story of your ink
the markings on your right arm
a mess of letter couldn't mean a thing
but hey man it's still got it's charms

I guess that some people change
well some they hardly notice
next time that you're by yourself
think of a time you could have had

But I don't remember anyone
who ever listened to what I said
I don't remember anyone
who had the nerve to call me out
what do you do when I'm away
girl, what do you do when I'm gone?
what do you do with your time?

every girl I've ever loved had
every girl I've ever loved had
