He helped me change a tire

In a Citgo parking lot

He said we both could use a beer

And I said, "Hell, why not"

What started out as one night

Turned to six months just like that

He never had a ring on

So I never thought to ask

But then last night I saw a message on his phone

It said, "Hey, babe, what time you coming home?"

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to hate myself

I thought this kind of lonely

Only happens to somebody else

Being the other one when there's another one

God, this feels like hell

I thought I knew who I was

But it's getting hard to tell

I never wanted to be that girl

I've heard about those women

Who didn't have a clue

The ones who made excuses

Like my mama used to do

And he jumps in the shower

Just as soon as he gets home

And I'll spend half an hour

Going through his phone

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to hate myself

I thought this kind of lonely

Only happens to somebody else

Being the other one when there's another one

God, this feels like hell

I thought I knew who I was

But it's getting hard to tell

I never wanted to be that girl

Oh, and I feel stupid

I feel cheap

I feel used

I feel weak

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to hate myself

I thought this kind of lonely

Only happens to somebody else

Being the other one when there's another one

God, this feels like hell

I thought I knew who I was

But it's getting hard to tell

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to be that girl
