    Lyrics::
    You should talk to all the girls I met before you,
    let them tell you bout the way I turned them down,
    then you'll get the magnitude of what I'm trying to tell you,
    you send my ivory towers crashing to the ground
    Oh You level me, you do
    Oh you level me, you do, you do
    Oh you level me you do,
    Oh you level me, you do, you do
    You should talk to all the girls I met before you,
    Let them tell you bout the way I turned them down,
    Then you'll get the magnitude of what I'm trying to tell you
    You send my ivory towers crashing to the ground
    Oh You level me, you do
    Oh you level me, you do, you do
    Oh you level me you do,
    Oh you level me, you do, you do
    *Guitar Solo
    I get the sense you get the feeling this is not my habit,
    and this is way too deep to be some kind of lie,
    but I can also see you're not the kind of girl to go down easy,
    the truth it seems is gonna take a little time
    Oh You level me, you do
    Oh you level me, you do, you do
    Oh you level me you do,
    Oh you level me, you do, you do
