Jani Lane - How a Girl

Copied!edit Lyrics

★ Verse 1 ★
I would’ve just closed my eyes
I would’ve walked away
I would’ve avoided you
Like the plague, yeah

★ Chorus ★
If you would’ve told me that you were
Just going to show me how a girl
Could completely destroy me and my world
Yeah, yeah

★ Verse 2 ★
I wouldn’t have answered back
I would’ve kept to myself
I would’ve called 911
And asked someone for help

★ Chorus ★
If you would’ve told me that you were
Just going to show me how a girl
Could completely destroy me and my world
Yeah, yeah

★ Bridge ★
I’m all bruised up like a lemon peel
My clothes won’t fit, can’t keep down a meal
Yeah

★ Verse 3 ★
I would’ve just closed my eyes
I would’ve walked away
I would’ve avoided you
Like the plague

★ Chorus ★
If you would’ve told me that you were
Just going to show me how a girl
Could completely destroy me and my world
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
If you would’ve told me that you were
Just going to show me how a girl
Could completely destroy me and my world
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
