You Ain't Getting a Song

Once upon a time, I had a boyfriend I kept him around way too long When I finally got around to the leavin' He told me not to write him a song And that's what I do when I'm feeling blue But he gave me no material Nothing worth putting pen to paper The world's most tone-deaf see-you-later Don't flatter yourself, it ain't worth my time Racking my brain, tryin' to explain that the girl don't want the guy Won't trouble myself, to write about you feels so wrong So don't flatter yourself You ain't getting a song A song, a song, a song Maybe if you'd been a bit romantic Instead of ditching me for the boys Nothing 'bout your lovin' was poetic So why would I go wasting my voice? (My voice) On some clichés about better days When you gave me no material Nothing worth putting pen to paper The world's most tone-deaf see-you-later Don't flatter yourself, it ain't worth my time Racking my brain, tryin' to explain that the girl don't want the guy Won't trouble myself, to write about you feels so wrong So don't flatter yourself You ain't getting a song A song, a song, a song Is it just 'cause you're ashamed? Or didn't think there'd come a day when I'd leave you And tell the world where you went wrong? Baby, it'll be okay I hope you learn from your mistakes And you're dating someone who don't write songs But that's what I do when I'm feeling blue Don't flatter yourself, it ain't worth my time Racking my brain, tryin' to explain that the girl don't want the guy Won't trouble myself, to write about you feels so wrong So don't flatter yourself You ain't getting a song A song, a song, a song You ain't getting a song A song, a song, a song You ain't getting a song
