  • I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
    Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true
    I fall short each time
    Every time he ain't here
    You and your charm creep closer
    Closer and near
    Like a fool for fire, I fall, with my pride and all
    Like a bomb before explosion
    Ticking by your call
    You're the wiser one, disguised from greed
    And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees

    But I found a boy who I love more
    Than I ever did you before
    So stand beside the river I cried
    And lay yourself down
    Look how you want me now that I don't need you

    So, you thought that I'd crumble to my knees
    At the first sight of you crawling back to me
    To whisper, "Will you leave your man?"
    Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me
    I won't stand by you

    Cause I found a boy who I love more
    Than I ever did you before
    So stand beside the river I cried
    And lay yourself down
    Look how you want me now that I don't need you

    I ain't yours for no taking
    You must be mistaken
    I could never look into your eyes, and settle for wrong
    And ignore the right

    When I found a boy who loves me more
    Than you ever did me before
    So stand beside the river you cried
    And lay yourself down
    Look how you want me now that I don't need you Writer/s: Adele Laurie Blue Adkins
