It sure looked good on paper
Until we read between the lines
It always hurts when you find
You're running out of "laters" and "maybe next times"
When you can almost read her mind
She likes the romance
The slow dance
The staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights all year round
Why put 'em up, take 'em down?
She watches baseball
Hates the mall
Hangs out with the guys
That's what I know about what she likes
She's all about the rainbow
But not the one on Sunset Boulevard
I got it wrong, she took it hard
And it really hurts to let go
When you're so close
To making it so far
She likes the romance
The slow dance
The staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights all year round
Why put 'em up, take 'em down?
She watches baseball
Hates the mall
Hangs out with the guys
That's what I know about what she likes
I should've known that I
Never could've known that I
Could ever know enough about her
To keep her mine

She likes the romance
The slow dance
That keeps me up all night
She likes the Christmas lights up all year round
And I just took 'em down
She watches baseball
Hates the mall
And now I realized
what the hell do I know
about what she likes
She likes the romance
The slow dance
The staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights all year round
Why put 'em up, take 'em down?
She watches baseball
Hates the mall
Hangs out with the guys
its what she likes
