[verse 1]
you can call me names, but all the same i look better without
your ball and chain. tommy james can’t keep us together. i’m out
a rash decision is how you’d like to chalk it up
but i can listen to the shondells without you poppin’ up
crimson and clover was our song
now we’re over. is it wrong
to be strong and move on? is it colder
that i moved on to a better girl and you know her?
her and i used to play the friend card
we’d give each other back rubs that never went far
but now that you’re out of the picture
i cornered her; i leaned in and kissed her
[chorus]
i used to say you were my sunshine, but now i’m done lying
ask me how i’m doing. i’ve been making out just fine
just like i knew i would
[verse 2]
i’ve come to find that love’s not blind; it sees clear
i must confide, it’s tough to hide, so three cheers
for trying new things, stepping out of routines
wearing something other than t-shirts with blue jeans
i’ve turned over new leaves, ‘cause your garden grew weeds
hers is flowerful. i took it in more than a few dreams
you wonder what she’s got that you don’t? well you could say
that she’s everything you’re not, in a good way
she’s your ant-thesis
in every way you’re dull, she shows more magnificence
and me, having been freed from your tyranny
i don’t even wanna take a conversation seriously
don’t give a sh-t what her and my status is
i do know she thinks i deserve better than adequate
and since you’ve been kicked to the curb
i think i’d rather listen to her
[chorus]
i used to say you were my sunshine, but now i’m done lying
ask me how i’m doing. i’ve been making out just fine
just like i knew i would
[verse 3]
crimson and clover
now we’re over
crimson and clover
now we’re over
crimson and clover was our song
now we’re over. is it wrong
to be strong and move on? was it colder
that i moved on to a better girl?
when i ask you how you’re doing, you get tongue-tied
i can see your stung pride
just won’t let you unwind
your tears haven’t run dry
i will not come back, no i’m not like some guys
i consider you unsigned
go out in the world and dream plus-sized
it’s finally come time
[chorus]
i used to say you were my sunshine, but now i’m done lying
ask me how i’m doing. i’ve been making out just fine
just like i knew i would
i used to say you were my sunshine, but now i’m done lying
ask me how i’m doing. i’ve been making out just fine
just like i knew i would
(everything seemed love-love, yo. shorty was the one that i thought of, so
everything seemed love-love, yo. shorty was the one that i thought of, so)
