"Devotion" lyrics

"Devotion"

Suddenly, our shortcomings don't seem to matter that much
Your IQ is twenty points low
And I'm no six foot, hot look, All-American man
Sad to say, I pushed you away
Waiting for "Mrs. Right"

You never gave up
Devotion, waiting for me
You'll always be my girlfriend
I, too, am waiting for you
I'll always be your friend

I commend your stubbornness
Without it, we'd have never got this far
I am done with perfection
Chasing her leaves me with nothing but pain
Unlike you, she isn't true
She's got her own concerns

You never gave up
Devotion, waiting for me
You'll always be my girlfriend
I, too, am waiting for you
I'll always be your friend

Devotion, waiting for me
You'll always be my girlfriend
I, too, am waiting for you
I'll always be your friend
