Megan Moroney - Miss Universe

I was just twenty-one and he was barely twenty-two
I wanted him to want me and he said, "Baby, you know I do"
We were picture perfect, thought the distance would be worth it
He said, "When you know, you know" and I believed him (and I believed him)

Then I got a goodbye call
'Cause he found a beauty queen
I'm in a dive bar drinking
While she's in a magazine
Yeah, it hurt like hell
But hell, it could've been worse
At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe

I can't lie, she's everything and I'da probably picked her too
At least it wasn't a county pageant I lost that boy to
But I want runner-up roses, want the sash for second place
I want confetti falling, cameras flashing in my face

But I got a goodbye call
'Cause he found a beauty queen
I'm in a dive bar drinking
While she's in a magazine
Yeah, it hurt like hell
But hell, it could've been worse
At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe

He better count his lucky stars it went down like it did
'Cause I'da left him first if I'da met Brad Pitt
But that ain't the way it went

No, I got a goodbye call
'Cause he found a beauty queen
I'm in a dive bar drinking
While she's in a magazine
Yeah, it hurt like hell
But hell, it could've been worse
At least my whole world left me for Miss Universe
My whole world left me for Miss Universe
