Girl comes home and checks her phone She fools herself that she's not alone But everybody wants to be like you And it all boils down and all this ends You turn around and you got no friends But everybody wants to be like you I would really hate to be her Think they love her when they see her When she's gone she just don't know What they say She inherited the drama It was passed down from her mama And her daddy he would only drink wine Only if she came around But she's slowly goin' down Girl comes home and checks her phone She fools herself that she's not alone But everybody wants to be like you And it all boils down and all this ends You turn around and you got no friends But everybody wants to be like you She looked a whole lot older Yet nobody ever told her You would never know That she was sixteen And as far as I remember She was standing on the corner Just the type that loved To be on the scene Only if she came around But she's slowly goin' down Girl comes home and checks her phone She fools herself that she's not alone But everybody wants to be like you And it all boils down and all this ends You turn around and you got no friends But everybody wants to be like you Girl comes home and checks her phone She fools herself that she's not alone But everybody wants to be like you And it all boils down and all this ends You turn around and you got no friends But everybody wants to be like you Girl comes home and checks her phone She fools herself that she's not alone But everybody wants to be like you
