That Kind of Girl

With a needle and thread, you came to me;
But I wouldn`t let you sew me back up,
So you had the nerve to turn and walk away,
And never tell me what you wanted to say.
Six different people, have come up to me,
Telling me that we were never meant to be,
Because an over-dramatic city girl doesn`t fit,
With a down-to-earth Country boy.
In the back of my mind, my thoughts were to cry,
But I`m just not the type to lose composure,
No no, I`m just not that kind of girl;
So I laughed in their faces, told them off;
`Cuz who are they, to try to define me;
When I`ve never said a word to them before?
So you can go ahead and tell your friends,
About the selfish city girl who tore you apart,
With every little thing that she ever did,
And I`ll tell all of my friends you have no heart,
Because your true heart is located in your pants.
I`ve been strong, I`ve been wrong, I`ve been fooled;
But Baby, I`ve also been known to be right;
And this time, us separating, it isn`t a mistake.
I`ve been down on my knees every night,
Praying to God that maybe you`d try to call,
But giving credit to a heartbreaker like you,
Just might have been where I went wrong all along.
So you can come around and try to get in my head,
But this time, it just won`t work, my mind is settled;
And for once in my life, I have taken the time to look;
At the girl in the mirror staring back at me,
And I`m gonna ignore the devil in my chest this time,
Use my common sense and listen to my head,
Because I`m so much better than you.
So you can have all of those other girls you want,
That you couldn`t keep your hands off of before,
And you can take back your lines and sewing package,
`Cuz this broken heart will heal itself without you.
But I`ll give you credit enough right now to say,
That just maybe one day, you`ll come to your senses,
And you`ll truly see me for what I was,
Instead of just how much you could use me for.
But when you start to break down and miss me,
I`ll be in someone`s arms who appreciates me.
I won`t sit here crying, won`t sit here dying over you;
I`m not that kind of girl Baby, I`m not that kind of girl.
