A friend gave me your number
To tell you watch your loverâs tracks
See I always kind of liked you
So, I wanna have your back
There is a good chance by the time you hear this
The storyâs gonna say
That I came on to him
But it was never quite that way
I knew he was good looking
Maybe too good to be true
But when he kissed me in that alley
I could tell there was a you
[Chorus]
I donât want to be that girl
With your guy
To fool you
Make you cry
Wreck it all
For one night
To be with him when he should be with you
I donât want all the dirty looks
The headlines
So, I called you
To explain why
I wound up
With your guy
When I donât wanna be that girl
I know boys can be promiscuous
Yeah, thatâs just what they do
But this involves the both of us
Yeah, itâs our business too
So, I thought Iâd call to tell you
It was never in my plan
Iâm not the scarlet Devil
I donât want to take your man
Imagine how surprised I was
When he got up to leave
It wasnât my name on his lips
No, he didnât call for me
He didnât say, Jolene
I donât want to be that girl
With your guy
To fool you
Make you cry
Wreck it all
For one night
To be with him when he should be with you
I donât want all the dirty looks
The headlines
So, I called you
To explain why
I wound up
With your guy
When I donât wanna be that girl
We all know how the moral of the story goes
Be careful what you reap because you reap what you sow
Iâm calling âcause I really thought you should know
Even though heâs being that guy
I donât want to be that girl
With your guy
To fool you
Make you cry
Wreck it all
For one night
To be with him when he should be with you
I donât want all the dirty looks
The headlines
So, I called you
To explain why
I wound up
With your guy
When I donât wanna be that girl
