I Raised Your Boyfriend Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think
Maybe you are my Jolene
Tell me
Does he ever speak of me?
Yeah, you should be thanking me
This dude's got a history

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm sure
Everything about you is great
But it hurts
Watching as you take my place
Yeah, you're living out my dreams
It's you when it should be me
[Pre-Chorus]
I see he brought you flowers
The ones that he can't name
Looks like finally he lost his fear of PDA
You should've seen him last year
Now that's a different man
So here is to your future 'cause I took care of the past

[Chorus]
I raised your boyfriend
Your pretty little, pretty little boyfriend
Your perfect little, perfect little boyfriend
I raised the guy you see before you
He left me in the dirt
Where's my prize and my diploma?
Where's the credit for my work?
I raised your boyfriend

[Verse 3]
I got
Nothing but some lazy dates
A front row ticket to his mental state
Yeah, two years of misery
While you got the best of him

[Verse 4] I don't mean to be bitter, bitter, bitter
But I've been crying rivers, rivers, rivers
Hate to think you're better suited
And my role was just to play cupid
[Pre-Chorus]
So he brought you flowers
And booked a trip to Spain
Now you're talking house and kids
Well that's just f*cking great
You should've seen him last year
Now that's a different man
So here is to your future 'cause I took care of the past

[Chorus]
I raised your boyfriend
Your pretty little, pretty little boyfriend
Your perfect little, perfect little boyfriend
I raised the guy you see before you
He left me in the dirt
Where's my prize and my diploma?
Where's the credit for my work?
I raised your boyfriend

Pretty little boyfriend

[Post-Chorus]
I don't mean to be bitter, bitter, bitter
But I've been crying rivers, rivers, rivers
Yeah, you should've seen me last year
I gave it all I had
So here is to your future 'cause I took care of the past
I raised your boyfriend
