I was just twenty-one and he was barely twenty-two I wanted him to want me and he said, "Baby, you know I do"
We were picture-perfect, thought the distance would be worth it He said, "When you know, you know," and I believed him (And I believed him)
Then I got a goodbye call ´Cause he found a beauty queen I´m in a dive bar drinkin´ While she´s in a magazine Yeah, it hurt like hell But hell, it could´ve been worse At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe
I can´t lie, she´s everythin´, and I´da probably picked her too At least it wasn´t a county pageant I lost that boy to But I want runner-up roses, want the sash for second place
I want confetti fallin´, cameras flashin´ in my face
But I got a goodbye call ´Cause he found a beauty queen I´m in a dive bar drinkin´ While she´s in a magazine Yeah, it hurt like hell But hell, it could´ve been worse At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe
He better count his lucky stars it went down like it did ´Cause I´da left him first if I´da met Brad Pitt But that ain´t the way it went
No, I got a goodbye call ´Cause he found a beauty queen
I´m in a dive bar drinkin´ While she´s in a magazine Yeah, it hurt like hell But hell, it could´ve been worse At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe My whole world left me for Miss Universe
