[Intro]
Oh, oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
All alone in the parking lot
This wasn't where she thought she would be
The rain is coming down, it ain't letting up
But sometimes what you want isn't what you need
[Chorus]
He was perfect, so damn perfect
And he said she'd be his girl
She thought, they'd be living in Camelot
She was eighteen, and the prom queen
And she gave away her world
Cause she thought, he was taking her to Camelot
He was perfect, so damn perfect
And he said she'd be his girl
She thought, they'd be living in Camelot
She was eighteen, and the prom queen
And she gave away her world
Cause she thought, he was taking her to Camelot
But he left her in a parking lot
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
He left her in the parking lot
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
He left her in the parkin' lot
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
She's a dreamer, she's a keeper
She's a ten out of ten, the main feature
She don't know what she's worth
She's a hall pass, she's so high class
She's the beat in your heart that goes so fast
But she's so insecure
[Chorus]
He was perfect, so damn perfect
And he said she'd be his girl
He thought they'd be livin' in Camelot
She was eighteen and the prom queen
And she gave away her world
'Cause she thought he was takin' her away to Camelot
[Bridge]
He was perfect, so damn perfect
He was perfect, so damn perfect
He was perfect, so damn perfect
He was perfect, so damn perfect
He was perfect, so damn perfect
He was perfect, so damn perfect
He was perfect, so damn perfect
And he said she'd be his girl
[Chorus]
He was perfect, so damn perfect
And he said she'd be his girl
He thought they'd be livin' in Camelot
She was eighteen and the prom queen
And she gave away her world
'Cause she thought he was takin' her away to Camelot
But he left her in the parkin' lot
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
He left her in the parkin' lot
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
He left her in the parkin' lot
Oh, oh
He was takin' her to Camelot
