Girl, I must confess
When I got him, he was a mess
But I swear he's making progress all the time, time
He's not there, but he's learning
And I can feel the tables turning
I bet he'll be a better version when he's not mine, mine

It's sad, but it's true
It's just something we do
We teach him how to walk and then he runs, runs
Love's cruel, but it's cool
For me, he might not be the right one
But I made him the right one for someone

(Someone, someone)

I taught him to open up
Not be afraid to give his love
He just needs a little shove and he'll be fine, fine
It's crazy as it seems
I took one for the team
Now he's someone's else dream and not mine, mine

It's sad, but it's true
It's just something we do
We teach him how to walk and then he runs, runs
Love's cruel, but it's cool
For me, he might not be the right one
But I made him the right one for someone

Oh, ooh

I won't be jealous, no, I won't bitter
If I'm out somewhere and I see him with her
'Cause I like to believe
Someone's doing that for me

It's sad, but it's true
It's just something we do
We teach him how to walk and then he runs, runs
Love's cruel, but it's cool
For me, he might not be the right one
But I made him the right one for someone

Someone, someone
