Lyrics
You always said you needed someone that you trusted.
The kind of boy that wouldn't chase every girl he lusted.
But then you fooled around on me, and now your busted.
And Whoah! I'm a little disgusted. Shouldn't I be?
CHORUS: But now I'm setting myself free, 'cuz I'm as sick as I can be of this hypocrisy.
Then you told me your old boyfriend was so cruel.
And that he cheated when you went away to school.
So I assumed that you'd abide by the golden rule.
And Whoah! I was a bit of a fool. Wasn't I now?
CHORUS
The point of "doing onto others" seems so simplistic.
But I guess I was a bit too optimistic.
Cuz' to expect that from a girl that's so narcissistic -- Whoah! -- wasn't too realistic. Was it now?
