Lyrics

I can't believe what just happened to me
She didn't see all that I am and so
I'll be lonely tonight
She couldn't provide, did all that I had to do
And I'd win her from that man
Scraping pennies from the garbage can
Whoa-oh

Trust
Isn't fa-ir
When I write
I just say, yeah

I can't believe what just happened to me
What just happened to me
What just happened to me
