[Verse 1]
Bought a pack of cigarettes just for the hell of it
Only for the fact that you would hate the smell of it
Look at me being petty, just like you
Town after town I drag your memory around
Living this dream that you were always shooting down
The one you never thought would ever come true
[Chorus]
But now the crowd is singing songs about you
You, what would I do?
If you never broke my heart in two
Oh it's true the hell you put me through
It was just what I needed
Can you believe it?
Ain't it funny how I paid my dues
Singing songs about you, you
[Verse 2]
If you would've stuck around I wouldn't be here now
Dancing with a pretty girl from Richmond, Virginia
Never seen a smile like that before
We were spinning around 'til the lights went out
Music was playing and we were singing along
And then she told me that her favorite song
[Chorus]
It was the one that I wrote about you
You, what would I do?
If you never broke my heart in two
Oh it's true the hell you put me through
It was just what I needed
Can you believe it?
Ain't it funny how I paid my dues
Singing songs about you, you
Singing songs about you, you
[Chorus]
Oh it was just what I needed
Can you believe it?
Ain't it funny that I'm happy too
Singing songs about you, you
Singing songs about you, you
