When you walked by on Houston street
Her pretty little arm wrapped 'round your fleece
Thought I'd see her face, and think
'Might be nice to take a swing'
I pictured me running into you
I thought it'd hurt like it did in June
Every night, I would ugly cry
Played out a hundred scenarios
They all end with me making waterfalls
With my eyes, but to my surprise
Oh, I found a guy, kind and clever
And I realized that this new man does it better
When you walked by on Houston street
Her pretty little arm wrapped 'round your fleece
Thought I'd see her face, and think
'Might be nice to take a swing'
But when you walked by on Houston street
Your new girlfriend looking so happy
Thought I'd feel that heartbreak sting
Thought I'd feel but I didn't feel a thing
You bought me chocolates from Germany
Said: I hope your mom won't start hating me
Then you left, left me a mess
But then I found a guy, kind and clever
And I realized that this new man does it better
When you walked by on Houston street
Her pretty little arm wrapped 'round your fleece
Thought I'd see her face, and think
'Might be nice to take a swing'
But when you walked by on Houston street
Your new girlfriend looking so happy
Thought I'd feel that heartbreak sting
Thought I'd feel but I didn't feel a thing
So, as I'm walking past him
This man tries to smile at me
Smile, as if he didn't break my heart into a million pieces, you know?
Anyway, I did not smile back
You would be so proud of me
I just walked right past and literally didn't feel a thing
Oh, I found a guy, kind and clever
Hope it keeps you up at night knowing he does me so much better
