lyrics
I finally learned my lesson
I've been wasting all my time and energy in pursuit of a thing called love
I been trapped in that realm of questions I can never understand
And I'm breaking from it now, I've had enough
But now that I don't want it anymore, love will come looking for me
I look toward all my friends and see their problems multiply
Because they got so much more than they bargained for
And next thing that I know they’re wearing tuxes
Stepping down the aisle and shoving their independence out the door
Just cuz they didn't want it anymore, love went looking for them
I'll never make the mistakes I made before
I'm tempting fate, better knock the door
It's made of wood, you know what I'm saying
My telephone is ringing so I pick it up, I say hello
It's Lauren so I guess here we go again
You see, I didn't want it anymore so love came looking for me
And I guess it found me
I've been wasting all my time and energy in pursuit of a thing called love
I been trapped in that realm of questions I can never understand
And I'm breaking from it now, I've had enough
But now that I don't want it anymore, love will come looking for me
I look toward all my friends and see their problems multiply
Because they got so much more than they bargained for
And next thing that I know they’re wearing tuxes
Stepping down the aisle and shoving their independence out the door
Just cuz they didn't want it anymore, love went looking for them
I'll never make the mistakes I made before
I'm tempting fate, better knock the door
It's made of wood, you know what I'm saying
My telephone is ringing so I pick it up, I say hello
It's Lauren so I guess here we go again
You see, I didn't want it anymore so love came looking for me
And I guess it found me
