[Verse 1]

I see more than what you show me

So I'm likely to overstate our chemistry

If you like, babe, I might take you shopping for a few things

You could use some tender love and ice cream

I know what you need so let me help, babe

You say, okay, I'm blown away

[Chorus]

'Cause girls fall in love with potential

And that's how you got this far

And girls only see what they want to

And that's how you'll break her heart

He could be amazing, I know I could save him

These are all the stories we tell ourselves

'Cause girls fall in love with potential

We fall, we fall in love

[Verse 2]

How you feel about sipping on Champagne all day?

How you feel about browsing my internet high speed?

How you living now? Isn't it time for an upgrade?

What you think about spending your weekends up state?

How you feel about learning how to speak a different language?

What you think about vacationing in the Maldives?

[Pre-Chorus]

Am I projecting the man you cannot be?

Are you even worth it now?

[Chorus]

'Cause girls fall in love with potential

And that's how you got this far

And girls only see what they want to

And that's how you'll break her heart

He could be amazing, I know I could save him

These are all the stories we tell ourselves

'Cause girls fall in love with potential

We fall, we fall in love

[Bridge]

Let me get you right, babe

Before I bring you 'round my friends

I need to get you right, babe (need to get you right)

No matter how much time it takes

'Cause you're my science project (you're my little science project)

I don't mind investing in

So let me get you right, babe (baby, yeah)

Before it gets embarrassing (before it gets embarrassing)

[Chorus]

'Cause girls fall in love with potential

And that's how you got this far

And girls only see what they want to

And that's how you'll break her heart

He could be amazing, I know I could save him

These are all the stories we tell ourselves

'Cause girls fall in love with potential

We fall, we fall in love (we fall in love)

(That's how we we fallin' in love)
