You're on the phone with your boyfriend, he's upset
He's going off about something that you said
Cause he doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music he doesn't like
And he'll never know your story like I do

Ooh we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

Walking the streets with you in your tight ass jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself
"Hey, isn't this easy?"

And you've got a smile
That can light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile
Since he brought you down

You say you're fine ‒ I know you better than that
Hey, what you doing with a boy like that?
Ooh we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

..this is so exausting
I'm telling you, I'm telling you

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
