You were in college working part time waitin’ tables Left a small town, never looked back I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’ Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?" As we’re lying on the couch The moment I can see it. Yes, yes, I can see it now
Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Flash forward and we’re taking on the world together And there’s a drawer of my things at your place You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes
But we got bills to pay We got nothing figured out When it was hard to take Yes, yes, I thought about
Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water? You saw me start to believe for the first time You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Oh, oh, oh
And I remember that fight Two-thirty AM Yes, everything was slipping right out of our hands I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street Braced myself for the goodbye ‘cause that’s all I’ve ever known And you took me by surprise You said, "I’ll never leave you alone"
You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water And every time I look at you, it’s like the first time I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter She is the best thing that’s ever been mine"
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter You are the best thing that’s ever been mine Do you believe it? Going to make it now I can see it I can see it now
I never knew girls existed like you But now that I do I'd really like to get to know you
The girl's too young She don't need any better It's all coming back I can feel it The girl's too young She don't know any better It's all coming back I can feel it
She is beautiful She is beautiful She is beautiful She is beautiful The girl is beautiful
You're giving me moves that hit from all sides and when you are hitting like that you melt my eyes
The girl's too young She don't need any better It's all coming back I can feel it The girl's too young She don't know any better It's all coming back I can feel it
And though I never know you I look at your face. To tell you that I love you Don't know what to say You're everything I got, you beautiful girl The only thing I live for in the whole wide world
She is beautiful She is beautiful She is beautiful She is beautiful The girl is beautiful
I ain't got nothing to lose (Nothing to lose) Going to throw it away And talk to you She looks good She looks good And it's true And it's true The girl is beautiful She is beautiful
I ain't got nothing to lose (Nothing to lose) Only living one time And I want you She looks good She looks good And it's true And it's true The girl is beautiful She is beautiful
She is beautiful She is beautiful Na na na na na na na na She is beautiful She is beautiful Na na na na na na na na The girl is beautiful She is beautiful She is beautiful Na na na na na na na na She is beautiful She is beautiful Na na na na na na na na
I ain't got nothing to lose (Nothing to lose) Going to throw it away And talk to you She looks good She looks good And it's true And it's true The girl is beautiful She is beautiful
I ain't got nothing to lose (Nothing to lose) And I'll never forget When I saw you She looks good She looks good And it's true And it's true The girl is beautiful She is beautiful
