I think you're using me 'til you find someone new But if you wait too long, you'll have to find me, too - "If You Got a Heart" Those big blue eyes you see are not for crying You shouldn't treat her bad the way you do You're going to lose her love if you keep lying I know it's true, 'cause she once loved me, too - "If She was Mine"
