EmYou don't gotta love him, Amgirl, you can pretend
AmYou bet I totes believed her, yeah, every word she said
AmThought he was gluten-free, but all that I got was bread
EmMama always said Amnice guys finish last
EmBeat him at his own Amgame, honey, take the cash
AmOoh, and what a lucky girl you will be
AmBut no, he didn't do jack for me
AmI want a bean with the beanstalk
And if the magic ain't Eright, time to walk

EmDaddy always said Amlet the gentleman pay
EmNever ever go AmDutch at the buffet
AmI saw his bad intention, he didn’t wanna talk
AmHe put the saucy on it (Oops!) time to check my watch
EmDaddy always said Ammoney can't buy class
EmYou don't wanna get Amstuck taking out trash
AmOoh, yeah I guess it wasn't meant to be
AmBecause he didn't do jack for me
AmI want a bean with the beanstalk
And if the magic ain't Eright, time to walk
