Taken

Story Behind The Song

Business trip to NYC, I sat next to a super-hottie named Jenny. We talked and laughed at the items listed in Sky Mall, but she disappeared before I asked for her number. Called information for it, but she said "I'm flattered, but I have a boyfriend." Asked a girl named Jessi out...had a great time; there had always been some interest there; she ends up running back to her boyfriend after the date...nice. These are just 2 of the many instances of this. I know for a fact that this song is the story for a lot of guys out there.

Lyrics

I met her on a plane
With the prettiest smile I'd ever seen
She asked me my name
Said hers was Jenny, all the same
Well we talked and we laughed
And I wished it could last
But the time went so fast
So that's when I asked

She's got a boyfriend
(She said she's flattered)
She's got a boyfriend
(But what does it matter)
Inside I'm dying
She thinks I'm psycho
Why do I do this?
I really don't know why
Don't know why

I asked this girl on a date
She said "Cool, that'd be great!"
I could hardly wait
So I picked her up Friday night at 8
Well we had a great time
And she gave all the signs
But by the end of the night
Something just wasn't right

She's got a boyfriend
(She said she's flattered)
She's got a boyfriend
(But what does it matter)
Inside I'm dying
She thinks I'm psycho
Why do I do this?
I really don't know why
Don't know why

Why do I meet the ones who are spoken for?
Everytime I fall for her it seems...
She's got a boyfriend

She's got a boyfriend
(She said she's flattered)
She's got a boyfriend
(But what does it matter)
Inside I'm dying
I should go solo
Why do I do this?
I really don't know why, why, why
Don't know why
Don't know why
I don't know why
