"I Found A Boy" lyrics

I thought I told you, he'd be home soon.
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true.
I fall short each time,
Every time he ain't here.
You and your charm creep closer,
Closer and near.
Like a fool for fire, I fall
With my pride and all.
Like a bomb before explosion
Ticking by your call.
You're the wiser one, disguised from greed.
And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.

But I found a boy who I love more
Than I ever did you before.
So, stand beside the river I cried
And lay yourself down.
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.

So, you thought that I'd crumble to my knees
At the first sight of you crawling back to me
To whisper, "Will you leave your man?"
'Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me.
I won't stand by you.

'Cause I found a boy who I love more
Than I ever did you before.
So, stand beside the river I cried
And lay yourself down.
Look how you want me now that I don't need you!

I ain't yours for no taking.
You must be mistaken.
I could never look into your eyes and settle for wrong
And ignore the right.

When I found a boy who loves me more
Than you ever did me before.
So, stand beside the river you cried
And lay yourself down!
Look how you want me now that I don't need you!
