You're stubborn as they come
You'll never settle down
You'll always be the one
Who doesn't stick around
You make all the rules
You're set in your ways
You gotta have your freedom
And you gotta have your space

But one day you'll meet the girl
You swore you'd never find
Start feeling things you never felt
And start spending all your time
Tryin' to figure out how she got this
Hold on you
And when you start to fall
You'll hold on to your pride
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
And you'll push her away
'Cause that's all you know how to do
And then she'll leave, and you won't beg
Her not to go
Ask me how I know

Go on and shake your head
Tell me that I'm wrong
Say: I'm just another fool and this is just another song
But I know how you are
'Cause I know how I am
And I'd give anything
To go back and try again

'Cause one day you'll meet the girl
You swore you'd never find
Start feeling things you never felt
And spending all your time
Tryin' to figure out how she got this
Hold on you
And when you start to fall
You'll hold on to your pride
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
And you'll push her away
'Cause that's all you know how to do
And then she'll leave, and you won't beg
Her not to go
Ask me how I know

And you best put this song on repeat
Maybe then you won't end up like me

'Cause one day you'll meet the girl
You swore you'd never find
Start feeling things you never felt
And spending all your time
Tryin' to figure out how she got this
Hold on you
And when you start to fall
You'll hold on to your pride
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
And you'll push her away
'Cause that's all you know how to do
And then she'll leave, and you won't beg
Her not to go

Ask me how I know
Ask me how I know
'Cause man I know
