  • Got a boy back home in Michigan
    And he tastes like Jack when I'm kissing him
    So I told him that I never really liked his friends
    Now he's gone and he's calling me a bitch again
    There's a guy that lives in the garden state
    And he told me that we'd make it 'til we graduate
    So I told him that the music would be worth the wait
    But he wants me in the kitchen with a dinner plate

    I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe that we're meant to be
    But jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy get the best of me
    Look, I don't mean to frustrate, but I
    Always make the same mistakes, yeah
    Always make the same mistakes 'cause

    I'm bad at love
    (I'm bad at love)

    Got a girl with California eyes
    And I thought that she could really be the one this time
    But I never got the chance to make her mine
    Because she fell in love with little thin white lines
    London girl with an attitude
    We never told no one, but we look so cute
    Both got way better things to do
    But I always think about it when I'm riding through

    I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe that I'm in too deep
    And jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy get the best in me
    Look, I don't mean to frustrate, but I
    Always make the same mistakes, yeah
    Always make the same mistakes 'cause

    I'm bad at love
    (I'm bad at love)

    I know that you're afraid I'm gonna walk away
    Each time the feeling fades
    Each time the feeling fades
    I know that you're afraid I'm gonna walk away
    Each time the feeling fades

    I'm bad at love oh oh
    But you can't blame me for tryin'
    You know I'd be lyin' sayin'
    You were the one oh oh
    That could finally fix me
    Lookin' at my history
    I'm bad at love

  • El Pelon from Los Angeles Really good song, with good lyrics.

    I chose some interesting women over the years. One was desperate for a family, one was desperate to get married, one had psychological issues. What am I responsible for? Plenty. I'm selfish, it's either my way or the highway, and I know that. But these women all had good characteristics and were giving people, very nurturing.

    You can't blame me for trying but I do make the same goddamn mistakes. Picking women with baggage. I guess I liked it. I guess that means I have baggage too.

    My last girl I was with for 6 years. Probably 3 years too long. We broke up, got back together broke up got back together but we were connected in a way I never felt. Too bad it went south with her crying spells and insecurity. We were holding onto a relationship that was already over. It became toxic and I walked away.

    But I alwas think of her when I have to drive through her town, or when I hear songs like these.
