He said "I'll protect you like you are the crown jewels" yeah
Said he's feeling sorrier for me the more I behave badly, I can bet

Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment

Jealousy is more than a word, now I understand
You can't strike out while holding a boy's hand

Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment

I've got my life of complication here to sort out
I'll take myself to an east coast city and walk about

Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
At this moment

    General Comment:I thought it was, "You can't strike out while holding a boy's hand". which I pretty much agree with, and so I'll stand by that. :-)

    General Comment:It's "You can't stand out while holding a boy's hand"

    The girl wants to move on. She doesn't want to be stuck to the same guy although he's obviously still in love with her. If he's still seen/involved with her, no guy would want her.


    "Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment"
    She wants to explore and experience what love has to offer; she's being selfish for her own sake and happiness.


    She's willing to get hurt just to be in love.
