Miss Universe

I was just twenty-one and he was barely twenty-two

I wanted him to want me and he said, "Baby, you know I do"

We were picture perfect, thought the distance would be worth it

He said, "When you know, you know," and I believed him (And I believed him)

Then I got a goodbye call

'Cause he found a beauty queen

I'm in a dive bar drinking

While she's in a magazine

Yeah, it hurt like hell

But hell, it could've been worse

At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe

I can't lie, she's everything, and I'da probably picked her too

At least it wasn't a county pageant I lost that boy to

But I want runner-up roses, want the sash for second place

I want confetti falling, cameras flashing in my face

But I got a goodbye call

'Cause he found a beauty queen

I'm in a dive bar drinking

While she's in a magazine

Yeah, it hurt like hell

But hell, it could've been worse

At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe

He better count his lucky stars it went down like it did

'Cause I'da left him first if I'da met Brad Pitt

But that ain't the way it went

No, I got a goodbye call

'Cause he found a beauty queen

I'm in a dive bar drinking

While she's in a magazine

Yeah, it hurt like hell

But hell, it could've been worse

At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe

My whole world left me for Miss Universe
