Ah, ah, ah
I was just twenty-one and he was barely twenty-two
I wanted him to want me and he said, "Baby, you know I do"
We were picture-perfect, thought the distance would be worth it
He said, "When you know, you know," and I believed him (And I believed him)
Then I got a goodbye call
'Cause he found a beauty queen
I'm in a dive bar drinkin'
While she's in a magazine
Yeah, it hurt like hell
But hell, it could've been worse
At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe
I can't lie, she's everythin', and I'da probably picked her too
At least it wasn't a county pageant I lost that boy to
But I want runner-up roses, want the sash for second place
I want confetti fallin', cameras flashin' in my face
But I got a goodbye call
'Cause he found a beauty queen
I'm in a dive bar drinkin'
While she's in a magazine
Yeah, it hurt like hell
But hell, it could've been worse
At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe
He better count his lucky stars it went down like it did
'Cause I'da left him first if I'da met Brad Pitt
But that ain't the way it went
No, I got a goodbye call
'Cause he found a beauty queen
I'm in a dive bar drinkin'
While she's in a magazine
Yeah, it hurt like hell
But hell, it could've been worse
At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe
My whole world left me for Miss Universe
Ah, ah, ah
