The One That I Want (But I Don’t Know Why) Lyrics by Sadie Jean
[Verse 1]
Every time think you'll try, really try
And I try to believe but you don't, no, you don't
Starts to feel like a lie, I don't lie
But I lie to myself 'cause I don't wanna know
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm still rootin' for you
Don't know if I'm supposed to
[Chorus]
I'm thinkin', "Oh my God"
I'm breakin' every rule that I live by for ya
So bad it's almost hot
Chalk it up to early-twenties torture
So put your lips on mine
It feels good when I close my eyes
And you can be that guy
The one that I want but I don't know why
[Verse 2]
Say we're good like we're good and it's good
'Til we're not 'cause I thought you would be a little better
But you're back from the night, you forgot to invite me
It's fine, I just didn't think I'd ever
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on rootin' for you
Don't think I'm supposed to
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
[Chorus]
I'm thinkin', "Oh my God"
I'm breakin' every rule that I live by for ya
So bad it's almost hot
Chalk it up to early-twenties torture
So put your lips on mine
It feels good when I close my eyes
And you can be that guy
The one that I want but I don't know why
[Post-Chorus]
I don't know why
I really don't know why
[Bridge]
Maybe if we met after Girlfriend 2
You wouldn't do the things that make me mad at you
And maybe if we met after Girlfriend 3
You wouldn't have to wonder how to love me
[Chorus]
I'm thinkin', "Oh my God"
I'm breakin' every rule that I live by for ya
So bad it's almost hot
Chalk it up to early-twenties torture
So put your lips on mine
It feels good when I close my eyes
And you can be that guy
The one that I want but I don't know why
