Lyrics
TAKEN
By Matt Ward c2002 ASCAP
What do you want from me
I hope I can set you straight
I know that you?re in a hurry
But sometimes you?ve gotta wait
And you?re wondering if I?m looking
If somebody caught my eye
They?re not my type
They?re not my type
All of the good ones are taken
All of the good ones are gone
It?s such a different situation
My independence lingers on
All of the good ones are taken
All of the good ones are gone
You know it?s taxing all my patience
Finding it hard to carry on
My friend
Oh so many try and try
So many have to lose
You?re trying to be their woman
But you get caught up in all their blues
And you?re wondering if I?m looking
If somebody caught my eye
They?re not my type
They?re not my type `cause
CHORUS
You?re friendly in these surroundings
Especially when we?re alone
But I?m on the outside longing
And you forget me when you get home
And you?re wondering if I?m looking
If somebody caught my eye
They?re not my type
They?re not my type, no `cause
CHORUS ??
