I Found a Boy - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I thought I told you, he'd be home soon

Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true

I fall short each time, every time he ain't here

You and your charm creep closer, closer and near

Like a fool for fire, I fall, with my pride and all

Like a bomb before explosion, ticking by your call

You're the wiser one, disguised from greed

And I'm just a child who longs on her knees

But I found a boy who I love more

Than I ever did you before

So stand beside the river I cried

And lay yourself down

Look how you want me now that I don't need you

So you thought that I'd crumble to my knees

At the first sight of you crawling back to me

To whisper, "Will you leave your man?"

'Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me

I won't stand by you

'Cause I found a boy who I love more

Than I ever did you before

So stand beside the river I cried

And lay yourself down

Look how you want me now that I don't need you

I ain't yours for no taking

You must be mistaken

I could never look into your eyes

And settle for wrong and ignore the right

When I found a boy who loves me more

Than you ever did before

So stand beside the river you cried

And lay yourself down

Look how you want me now, but I don't need you
