Choosing Boys (album) Lyrics

I buried my face

In my silk pillow case

And drank about eight bottles of wine

Yeah, the first month was Hell

It wasn't so going well

This pain was never a plan of mine

Then, slowly, the days passed by, and I quickly came to realize

The issue hasn't been finding

A way out of stuck

The problem has never been purely bad luck

It's who I've been choosin', the only solution

Is going another way

I'll be disappointed

For rest of my days

If I don't pick a new path and make a change

Could stay in a playpen and tinker with toys

Or start dating real men

And quit choosing boys

Quit choosing boys

Been running a race

Streaming tears down my face

Can't remember a night when I wasn't crying

Yeah, those first months were Hell

They only got worse and I could never tell

Was I gonna survive

Or end up dyin'

Then, slowly, the days passed by, and I quickly came to realize

The issue hasn't been finding

A way out of stuck

The problem has never been purely bad luck

It's who I've been choosin', the only solution

Is going another way

I'll be disappointed

For rest of my days

If I don't pick a new path and make a change

Could stay in a playpen and tinker with toys

Or start dating real men

And quit choosing boys

Quit choosing boys

You see, it's like this

The first boy I kissed

And just about all of 'em since

Have had a sleeve full of tricks, yeah

I'd fall like a ton of bricks

Heavy and fast

Praying maybe this would be the one that would last

Cast a net on my hopeful heart

Taking advantage

I'm smarter now

So, I won't allow

Puttin' up with their antics

I can't stand it

The games are for kids

And I'm a woman on a mission with a life to live

I wanna give away mine

And capture a heart

Take the path of least resistance

Right from the start

Cuz I know love is an ocean of the deepest blue

So, find your shade, and ride the wave

All the way through

For all the ladies out there

Needing advice

The issue will never be finding, a way out of stuck

The problem will never be purely bad luck

It's who we've been choosin'

The only solution

Is going another way

I'm finally LIVING

The BEST of my days

Paved a new path and made a change

Got out of the playpen

Away from the toys

Started dating real men

REAL men

And quit choosing boys

Quit choosing boys

Quit choosing boys

Quit choosing boys, yeah

I QUIT CHOOSING BOYS
