That Girl Songtext
von Jennifer Nettles

A friend gave me your number
To tell you watch your lover′s tracks
See I always kind of liked you
So, I wanna have your back
There is a good chance by the time you hear this
The story's gonna say
That I came on to him
But it was never quite that way

I knew he was good looking
Maybe too good to be true
But when he kissed me in that alley
I could tell there was a you


I don′t want to be that girl
With your guy
To fool you
Make you cry
Wreck it all
For one night
To be with him when he should be with you
I don't want all the dirty looks
The headlines
So, I called you
To explain why
I wound up
With your guy
When I don't wanna be that girl

I know boys can be promiscuous
Yeah, that′s just what they do
But this involves the both of us
Yeah, it′s our business too
So, I thought I'd call to tell you
It was never in my plan
I′m not the scarlet Devil
I don't want to take your man

Imagine how surprised I was
When he got up to leave
It wasn′t my name on his lips
No, he didn't call for me
He didn′t say, Jolene


I don't want to be that girl
With your guy
To fool you
Make you cry
Wreck it all
For one night
To be with him when he should be with you
I don't want all the dirty looks
The headlines
So, I called you
To explain why
I wound up
With your guy
When I don′t wanna be that girl

We all know how the moral of the story goes
Be careful what you reap because you reap what you sow
I′m calling 'cause I really thought you should know
Even though he′s being that guy

I don't want to be that girl
With your guy
To fool you
Make you cry
Wreck it all
For one night
To be with him when he should be with you
I don′t want all the dirty looks
The headlines
So, I called you
To explain why
I wound up
With your guy
When I don't wanna be that girl
