I'm cruising south, but drinking my way to the west
Girls girls girls, don't pity me, because I'm at my best
You know I'm dancing from nine, loving till five
Dolly told me all about working through life
Kept my head up high but I'm so done
This is the story about a girl becoming the other one

It was a dreadful night where we met
I came across your eyes on a scary set
You got your eyes on me until your smile broke through
Girl you got me shakin', got me on the move

Girls I cannot control, I cannot choose
Everyone I chose will eventually loose
Always getting back to her
Distracting myself with other lovers
Well I thought it worked, I thought I chose you
But the emerald green turned in the prettiest of blues

She's always there, blue eyed perfect dressed
Being unfair, mind's made up a mess
Maybe she's the curse and I'm under the spell
'Cause lovin' her it brought me, it brought me hell

Girls I cannot control, I cannot choose
Everyone I chose will eventually loose
Always getting back to her
Distracting myself with other lovers
Well I thought it worked, I thought I chose you
But the emerald green turned in the prettiest, the prettiest of blues

I cannot act, I only give in
Which makes it for a fact, tough livin'
Before I break and fall
I have to take this call
Which actually means goodbye to all
She's the one I can't refuse
And maybe that just means that I'm about to lose

Girls I cannot control, I cannot choose
Everyone I chose will eventually loose
Always getting back to her
Distracting myself with other lovers
Well I thought it worked, I thought I chose you
But the emerald green turned in the prettiest, the prettiest, the prettiest of blues
