Next Best Thing

(albüm: Letterbox - 2017)

Hey little sister hear me out
I know what this is about
A motorcycle ride
A cigarette in his mouth
You think he's some kind of king
Marlon Brando, James Dean
Oh, he's just a little boy
Looking for a plaything

And you know that word gets around
And people like talking
And a bad boy only wants a good girl
Till he sees the next best thing a coming

I know whatever I say
You're gonna do it anyway
Oh, children come inside
It's looking like a heartbreak

And you know that word gets around
And people like talking
And a bad boy only wants a good girl
Till he sees the next best thing a coming

I know you don't know that he's lying
When he tells you where he's been
But one day he's gonna leave you crying
And there's just no way around it, yeah, yeah

And if you think you'll change him
Little darling think again
Oh, there's nothing you can do
But to keep him coming

And you know that word gets around
And people like talking
And a bad boy only wants a good girl
Till he sees the next best thing, the next best thing

Oh, word gets around
And people like talking
And a bad boy only wants a good girl
Until he sees the next best thing a coming
A-a-a coming
