"Next Girl" lyrics

"Next Girl"

Hey, next girl, you don't know me
I'm just the one he says went crazy
On him, that's just what he does
But once upon a time I was
The next girl, I been where you're at
You overlook a lot when he looks like that
He'll charm your momma with that smile
Hide the red flags for a little while

I bet you probably met him at a bar
Let him walk you to your car
I bet he said he never falls this hard
Yeah, I remember that part
He knows how to say all the right
Things, knows how to get you outta that dress
Knows how to make you think you're the best thing
But I know what happens next, girl

Hey, next girl, you think that you know better
Maybe the last girl was just a little bitter
And jaded, yeah there ain't no doubt
But if he ever talks about
The ex-girl, she tried like hell
It was too late to save herself
So now she's just tryna help the next girl

I bet you probably met him at a bar
Let him walk you to your car
I bet he said he never falls this hard
Yeah, I remember that part
He knows how to say all the right
Things, knows how to get you outta that dress
Knows how to make you think you're the best thing
But I know what happens next

You're gonna think it's all your fault
It's just a switch that he turns off
He'll make you think it's love
But I promise you it's not
Oh no, it's not, no

Oh, and I bet you probably met him at a bar
Let him walk you to your car
I bet he said he never falls this hard
Yeah, I remember that part
He knows how to say all the right
Things, knows how to get you outta that dress
Knows how to make you think you're the best thing
But I know what happens next, girl

Carly Pearce told American Songwriter magazine about "Next Girl", "How many times have you gone to a club and watched this happen? It's so predictable, just look around. But for all the looking, how many times have you ever said anything? This is my way of being the big sister, or the sassy girlfriend to all the other girls out there in the dating jungle."
"Next Girl" was co-written by Carly Pearce alongside Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.
