I used to be in love with you You use to be the first thing on my mind I know I’m just a friend to you That I will never get to call you mine But I still love you I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I love you I didn’t mean to say what I said I miss you, I mean it, I tried not to feel it But I can’t get you out of my head And I want you to miss me When I’m not around you I know that you’re in town Why won't you come around To the spot that we met I’m not the type of girl for you And I’m not going to pretend I’m the type of girl you call more than a friend And I break all the rules for you Break my heart and start again I’m not the type of girl you call more than a friend I bet she acts so perfectly You probably eat up every word she says And if you ever think of me I bet I’m just a flicker in your head But I still love you I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I love you I didn’t mean to say what I said I miss you, I mean it, I tried not to feel it But I can’t get you out of my head And I want you to miss me When I’m not around you I know that you’re in town Why won't you come around To the spot that we met I’m not the type of girl for you And I’m not going to pretend I’m the type of girl you call more than a friend And I break all the rules for you Break my heart and start again I’m not the type of girl you call more than a friend I’ll make time for you (time for you-ooh) I’ll make time for you (time for you-ooh) I love you, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I love you I didn’t mean to say what I said I miss you, I mean it, I tried not to feel it I can’t get you out of my head I’m not the type of girl for you And I’m not going to pretend I’m the type of girl you call more than a friend And I break all the rules for you Break my heart and start again I’m not the type of girl you call more than a friend I’ll make time for you (time for you-ooh) I’ll make time for you (time for you-ooh) I’ll make time for you (time for you-ooh) I’ll make time for you (time for you-ooh)
