D-DU-UDU
 It's hard  right now, to look into your eyes.
 The thought  of you sad is enough  to make me cry.
Even  though I'm walking away, I know  I need you.
 But leaving  is something I have  to do.
 'Cause you're a seven,  and I  deserve an eight.
 You're a seven,  that's good  but it's not great.
I'm  not asking  for a ten  to be my mate,
 But I know  in my heart that I...  deserve an eight.
 Whenever  I was down, you were  there for me.
One  time you held my hand, when  it hurt to pee.
And  I know that you've always  been true,
 But leaving  is something I have  to do...
 'Cause you're an A-cup,  and I  deserve a B.
 You're an A-cup,  not quite doing  it for me.
Sometimes they  can be kind  of hard to see,
 And I know  in my heart that I...  deserve a B.
 My friend  gave you a 6,  another buddy  gave you an eight.
 That averages  to seven,  that's good...  but it's not great.
 'Cause you're a seven,  and I  deserve an eight.
 You're a seven,  that's good  but it's not great.
I'm  not asking  for a ten  to be my mate,
 But I know  in my heart that I...  deserve an eight.
