How it started out with us On the rebound Perfect is how it started out with us Finally a girl that I could trust With beauty, brains, knows how to laugh She's just perfect, and when I look into your eyes Felt like the luckiest man alive Until you girlfriend told me what I was I was what you used to keep your mind off someone else And either way I lose when you put me on the shelf So don't lead me on if you're not gonna stay around I don't wanna be the one if you're on the rebound, rebound I can't be with you no matter how good it sounds I don't wanna be a fool if you're on the rebound, rebound Listen, I'm really falling hard for you But you're in love with two Can't have your cake and eat it too So listen, I don't want this thing to end But if you've got a special friend You keep running back to him, so understand I'm not that guy to pretend to live a lie Tell me what it is you want If it's not me then say goodbye So don't lead me on if you're not gonna stay around I don't wanna be the one if you're on the rebound, rebound I can't be with you no matter how good it sounds I don't wanna be a fool if you're on the rebound, rebound
