Verse 1
I'm not the friend that she wanted me to be,
I don't have time to be locked up in a dream,
Beach Boulevard and it's raining on the street,
I just need some time to get back on my feet.
Another day with another lonely song,
I feel alone, but I know it's not for long.
I'll get a tan, buy another pair of shades.
I'll shake her off, and chase another pretty face.
PreChorus
All the ex-girls, all the old girls, all the girls
Who just wanted a song with their name in it,
The rich girls, with their click girls, I get a fix,
When I fix, the fact that I wanted them
Chorus
Tell your friends you got the best of me
(You really did) You got the best of me
In the court of love, you've taken everything
You're the queen of tongue and cheek,
You got the best of me (And it's not fair at all)
You got the best of me
You just shrugged me off, you cut me off the string
Verse 2
I live at school, she lives just down the street.
She's beautiful but she'll kill me in my sleep
I feel alive when I hold her in my arms
I'm just a friend, but she will miss me when I'm gone
PreChorus
All the ex-girls, all the old girls, all the girls
Who just wanted a song with their name in it,
The rich girls, with their click girls, I get a fix,
When I fix, the fact that I wanted them
Tell your friends, you got the best of me
You got the best of me
You just shrugged me off, you cut me off the string
You're the queen of tongue and cheek
You got the best of me (you got the best of me)
I didn't get the joke, you got the best of me
Bridge
(You Better) Stay away, stay away,
(You Better) Stay away, stay away,
(You Better) Stay away, stay away,
(You Better) Stay away, stay away from me
And you can keep all your friends
Chorus
You were so sarcastic,
Taken with a grain of salt,
I didn't get the joke,
You got the best of me
You were so high classy,
Playing all your clever games,
I didn't get the joke,
You got the best of me
