It Doesn't Work Like That Songtext
von Chelsea Berman

Money don′t just jump into your wallet
You can't love someone if you won′t put 'em first
Whiskey doesn't pour itself back into the bottle
"I′m sorry" doesn′t take away the hurt

It doesn't work like that
It′s not that easy
I bet you wish you didn't need me
And I′d forget what you put me through
And I'd pick up just ′cause it's you
And you'd catch me in a moment that′s weak
Where I′m missing you like you're missing me
You′d say the right things, I'd come running back
It doesn′t work like that

You can't just text me 3 AM with "What′s up?"
You can't just show up drunk on my front porch
It's like you think the once girls make their minds up
They′ll still let you walk right in the door


It doesn′t work like that
It's not that easy
I bet you wish you didn′t need me
And I'd forget what you put me through
And I′d pick up just 'cause it′s you
And you'd catch me in a moment that's weak
Where I′m missing you like you′re missing me
You'd say the right things, I′d come running back
It doesn't work like that
It doesn′t work like that

You don't make the rules
You don′t call the shots
You don't get me back just because it's what you want

It doesn′t work like that
It′s not that easy
I bet you wish you didn't need me
And I′d forget what you put me through
And I'd pick up just ′cause it's you
And you′d catch me in a moment that's weak
Where I'm missing you like you′re missing me
You′d say the right things, I'd come running back
It doesn′t work like that
It doesn't work like that
