[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah

[Verse 1]
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)

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

[Verse 2]
I can't liе, she's everythin', 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 fallin', cameras flashin' in my face

[Chorus]
But I got a goodbye call
'Cause he found a beauty queen
I'm in a dive bar drinkin'
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
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
No, I got a goodbye call
'Cause he found a beauty queen
I'm in a dive bar drinkin'
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

[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah
