stitched up like a wounded soldier
rain falls on my parade
any time i get the nerve to ask her
it抯 two heartbeats too late
guys in shiny ties and gq hairdos
play every angle right
designer suits and foreign sport coupes
how抦 i supposed to fight

shot one - my chance is done
shot two - what抯 there to lose
shot down - i should have known

i got shot down ?i guess i should have known

people say i抦 better off without her
she抯 way out of my league
she抯 a killer and i抦 no contender
gotta break this losing streak

i always see her at the in-crowd parties
i抣l bet she抯 so bored like me
a hundred guys are lining up to meet her
before i count to three

shot one - my chance is done
shot two - what抯 there to lose
shot down - i should have known

i got shot down ?i guess i should have known
i got shot down ?another night is blown
i got shot down ?lost to romeo
