Lyrics
This Ain’t the Girl
By Bethany Koubsky
V1:
You walk in with your Cowboy strut
Your tight fitting jeans
You’re sure cute…
but your Stetson’s too small for that big ole head
I’m sure that smile will knock ’em dead
But I’m cashing in while I’m still ahead
Chorus:
I’m not buying in, I’m not taking that bet
This ain’t the girl you’re gonna get
I’m not falling for it, I see right through
This ain’t the girl whose gonna fall for you
No, this ain’t the girl whose gonna fall for you
V2:
Of all the girls you can have your choice
with those baby blues and that velvety voice
Cowboy swagger to make them all swoon
Talk to a girl, she’s over the moon
Chorus:
I’m not buying in, I’m not taking that bet
This ain’t the girl you’re gonna get
I’m not falling for it, I see right through
This ain’t the girl whose gonna fall for you
No, this ain’t the girl whose gonna fall for you
Bridge:
I may be by myself, all on my own
If you’re my choice, I’m leaving alone
Chorus:
I’m not buying in, I’m not taking that bet.
This is one girl you ain’t gonna get
I’m not falling for it, I see right through
This ain’t the girl whose gonna fall for you
No I ain’t the girl whose gonna fall for you
