She was a friend of a friend of mine I noticed her and she passed me by She didn't even look me in the eye I've tried to think of things to say Bought some wine, but she looked away I didn't even talk to her that night
For a while I thought I stood a chance When she smiled so sweet For a while I thought I'd figured her out That we were meant to be
But she said \"no, no, no\" She just said \"no, no\" She said \"no, no, no\"
Put me in my place I felt the door slam in my face Spent a long time standing in the rain I've been on the losing end All my dreams seem just pretend Once or twice thought, I would go insane
For a while I swore I stood a chance But I was back on my feet For a while I had figured it out That it was meant to be
But they said \"no, no, no\" They just said \"no, no\" They said \"no, no, no\" No, they said \"no, no, no\" They just said \"no, no\" They said \"no, no, no\"
Funny how your worst mistake Can lead you to your lucky break It only made me who I am today
All the while always stood a chance I was asleep on my two feet Took a while to figure it out To see the forest 'fore the trees
And now I know, know, know And now I know And now I know, know, know And now I know, know, know And now I know And now I know, know, know No, no, no And now I know, know, know And now I know No, no, no No, no, no And now I know, know, know And now I know No, no, no
