  • I got troubled thoughts
    And the self-esteem to match
    What a catch, what a catch
    Whoa

    You'll never catch us
    So just let me be
    Said I'll be fine
    'Till the hospital or American Embassy
    Miss Flack said I still want you back
    Yeah, Miss Flack said I still want you back

    I got troubled thoughts
    And the self-esteem to match
    What a catch, what a catch
    And all I can think of
    Is the way I'm the one
    Who charmed the one
    Who gave up on you
    Who gave up on you

    They say the captain
    Goes down with the ship
    So, when the world ends
    Will God go down with it?
    Miss Flack said I still want you back
    Yeah, Miss Flack said I still want you back

    I got troubled thoughts
    And the self-esteem to match
    What a catch, what a catch
    And all I can think of
    Is the way I'm the one
    Who charmed the one
    Who gave up on you
    Who gave up on you

    What a catch
    What a catch
    What a catch
    What a catch

    I will never end up like him
    Behind my back, I already am
    Keep a calendar
    This way you will always know

    I got troubled thoughts
    And the self-esteem to match
    What a catch, what a catch
    And all I can think of
    Is the way I'm the one
    Who charmed the one
    Who gave up on you
    Who gave up on you

    Where is your boy tonight?
    I hope he is a gentleman
    Maybe he won't find out what I know
    You were the last good thing
    We're going down, down in an earlier round
    And sugar, we're goin' down swinging
    Dance, dance, we're falling apart to halftime
    Dance, dance, and these are the lives you'd love to lead
    Dance, this is the way they'd love
    If they knew how misery loved me
    This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
    This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
    One night and one more time
    Thanks for the memories
    Even though they weren't so great
    He tastes like you, only sweeter
    Growing up, growing up

    I got troubled thoughts
    And the self-esteem to match
    What a catch, what a catch Writer/s: Andrew Hurley, Joseph Trohman, Patrick Stump, Peter Wentz
