training wheels

So you cook her dinner, and you buy her flowers
Keep it up for hours, well, that's news to me 'cause
You didn't lift a finger, you were always sour
Always such a downer, the joke's on me

I rode around in circles tryin' to please you
But you always wanted more (ooh, ooh)
Face was turnin' purple tryin' to keep you
While your foot was out the door (ooh)

Ain't it funny how your love just disappeared
The moment that I dried up all your tears?
All I ever did was try to lift you up
Now it's obvious you never gave a fuck about me, did you, dude?
Gave you my best, gave you the whole world
It was all for the next, all for the next girl
For me, it was so real, but for you, I was just trainin' wheels
Trainin' wheels

Guess I was just practice, helped kick your bad habits
This story is tragic (ooh)
When you met me, you needed a miracle
Did the Lord's work, woman gone spiritual
Then you left me feelin' kinda cynical (ooh-oh-oh-oh)

Rode around in circles tryin' to please you
But you always wanted more (ooh, ooh)
Face was turnin' purple tryin' to keep you
While your foot was out the door (ooh)

Ain't it funny how your love just disappeared
The moment that I dried up all your tears? (Ooh, ooh)
All I ever did was try to lift you up
Now it's obvious you never gave a fuck about me, did you, dude?
Gave you my best, gave you the whole world
It was all for the next, all for the next girl
For me, it was so real, but for you, I was just trainin' wheels
Trainin' wheels, trainin' wheels, trainin' wheels

Mm, gave you my best, gave you the whole world
All for the next, all for the next girl
For me, it was so real, but for you, I was just trainin' wheels

Trainin' wheels
Trainin' wheels (ta-ta-ta-ta-ta)
Trainin' wheels (pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pum)
Trainin' wheels
Trainin' wheels
