How did you get in Nobody's supposed to be here I've tried that love thing for the last time My heart says no, no Nobody's supposed to be here But you came along and changed my mind I've spent all my life On a search to find The love who'll stay for eternity The heaven sent to fulfill my needs But when I turned around Again love has knocked me down My heart got broken Oh it hurt so bad I'm sad to say love wins again So I place my heart under lock and key To take some time and take care of me But I turn around and you're staying here How did you get in Nobody's supposed to be here I've tried that love thing for the last time My heart says no, no Nobody's supposed to be here, (nobody's supposed to be here) But you came along and changed my mind This time I swear I'm through But if only you knew How many times I've said those words Then fall again when will I ever learn Knowing these tears I've cried This lovely black butterfly Must take a chance and spread my wings Love can make you do some crazy things So I place my heart under lock and key To take some time and take care of me But I turn around and you're standing here Standing here Shoo do doop Nobody's supposed to be here Nobody No no no no No no no no How did you get in Nobody's supposed to be here I've tried that love thing for the last time My heart says no, no Nobody's supposed to be here But you came along and you changed my mind
