Lyrics
Current Boyfriend
On the eve of being dumped I turn myself around
I want to watch you walk away with a little self-respect
all of your friends will be laughing and even your mom and dad
your sisters and brothers and the dog and passers by...
and I?ve seen the way you?re watching men like you?re
done in your mind with your current boyfriend
All over the eve of being dumped I blame it all on you
and your fucking name?s tatooed all over my stuff
I know that you think me homely and don?t like how I lick my plate
Shortly, then you?ll be happy and I will be innate and dripping
guess no undressing for me
stuck in your mind with your current boyfriend
So on the eve of being dumped I turn myself around
and try to watch you walk away with an ounce of self respect
I know you?ll wax some sympathy, I know you?ll try to help
but soon you?ll be together and I will be in hell and melting
not like you?ll be checking on me
gone in your mind is your current boyfriend
