(Michael Peterson/Gene Pistilli)



You were all she ever wanted, that was once upon a time

She was all you ever needed, that's what makes it such a crime

How you took her heart for granted, how you threw her love away

Now you still don't understand it, if you did, you'd never say



It was too good to be true

What did you expect a girl as good as her to do?

What do you think would make that woman go find somebody new?

She's not too good to be true

She's just too good to be true to you



Just because she never said so, doesn't mean she didn't see

Every time you stole an apple off somebody else's tree

Late last night that lipstick letter she left on the bedroom door

Said "You don't get it, and you ain't gonna get it anymore!"



It was too good to be true

What did you expect a girl as good as her to do?

What do you think would make that woman go find somebody new?

She's not too good to be true

She's just too good to be true to you



It was too good to be true

What did you expect a girl as good as her to do?

What do you think would make that woman go find somebody new?

She's not too good to be true

She's just too good to be true to you



Here we go!

It was too good to be true

What did you expect a girl as good as her to do?

What do you think would make that woman go find somebody new?

She's not too good to be true

She's just too good to be true to you

Oh just too good to be true to you
