I met a girl named Tara
Aku bertemu dengan seorang gadis bernama Tara
And she lived in the heart of America
Dan dia tinggal di jantung Amerika
She liked black cat and listened to puff daddy
Dia suka kucing hitam dan mendengarkan Puff Daddy
Danced till her legs were sore
Menari sampai kakinya pegal
She worked around the corner
Dia bekerja di sudut jalan
At a donor with a grouchy owner
Di sebuah tempat donat dengan pemilik yang pemarah
And her boyfriend shady
Dan pacarnya yang shady
Dates another girl named Katy
Kencan dengan gadis lain bernama Katy
He loved her defiantly maybe
Dia mencintainya, pasti mungkin

Don’t think I can take it
Jangan pikir aku bisa bertahan
Weight me when it’s over
Tunggu aku saat ini berakhir
Seems too far away
Rasanya terlalu jauh
I wish that it was closer
Aku berharap itu lebih dekat
I see you everyday
Aku melihatmu setiap hari
I’m too scared to go over
Aku terlalu takut untuk mendekat
I wonder what she'd say
Aku penasaran apa yang dia akan katakan
I barely even know her
Aku bahkan hampir tidak mengenalnya

(Chorus)
How much longer
Berapa lama lagi
Would this keep getting stronger
Apakah ini akan terus semakin kuat
I wonder what she’s doing when I'm singing myself to sleep
Aku penasaran apa yang dia lakukan saat aku menyanyikan lagu untuk tidur
Cuz he's a faker
Karena dia hanya berpura-pura
So see ya later
Jadi, sampai jumpa nanti
I wonder when you realize that she means a lot more to me
Aku penasaran kapan kau menyadari bahwa dia berarti jauh lebih banyak bagiku

I saw you in the hallway
Aku melihatmu di lorong
When my last class was just over
Saat kelas terakhirku baru saja selesai
It was Friday school was out tonight
Hari Jumat, sekolah selesai malam ini
Everything seems to be all right
Segalanya tampak baik-baik saja
I said, "Yo, are you going"
Aku bilang, "Yo, kamu mau pergi?"
To the party at the club she said
Ke pesta di klub, dia bilang
"He's picking me up at six again"
"Dia akan menjemputku lagi jam enam"
And I don’t wanna disappoint my boyfriend
Dan aku tidak ingin mengecewakan pacarku

(Chorus)

And she’s staring at his picture hanging in her locker
Dan dia menatap foto dia yang tergantung di loker
She’s telling all the girls about all the things that he bought her
Dia bercerita kepada semua gadis tentang semua barang yang dia belikan
I saw what really happened
Aku melihat apa yang sebenarnya terjadi
All those times he went for water
Semua kali dia pergi ambil air
When we were at the movie theatre watching Harry Potter
Saat kami di bioskop menonton Harry Potter
He had his hands on
Dia merangkul
Every single girl he laid his eyes on
Setiap gadis yang dia lihat
To break it to you, he's a pylon
Untuk jujur padamu, dia hanya seorang penipu
And even when he kissed her
Dan bahkan saat dia menciumnya
He was looking over staring at her sister
Dia malah melirik menatap saudarinya

(Chorus)

I met a girl named Tara
Aku bertemu dengan seorang gadis bernama Tara
And she lived in the heart of America
Dan dia tinggal di jantung Amerika
She liked black cat and listened to puff daddy
Dia suka kucing hitam dan mendengarkan Puff Daddy
Danced till her legs were sore
Menari sampai kakinya pegal
She worked around the corner
Dia bekerja di sudut jalan
At a donor with a grouchy owner
Di sebuah tempat donat dengan pemilik yang pemarah
And her boyfriend shady
Dan pacarnya yang shady
Dates another girl named Katy
Kencan dengan gadis lain bernama Katy
He loved her defiantly maybe
Dia mencintainya, pasti mungkin
