Younger and Hotter Than Me Selena Gomez Lyrics
Waited outside your apartment
You used to come down for me
I used to feel like an angel
Now I’m a dog on your leash
Begging for more
X on my hand drawn in Sharpie
Now I use my own ID
All of the girls at this party
Are younger and hotter than me
And I hate what I wore
But I hate myself more
For thinkin’ you were different
Wish I never loved you
We’re not gettin’ any younger
But your girlfriends seem to
Lookin’ for something to tell you
Lookin’ for reasons to speak
Pictures of you at the movies
Is she younger and hotter than me?
Is it all in my head?
Should have moved on instead
For thinkin’ you were different
Wish I never loved you
We’re not gettin’ any younger
But your girlfriends seem to
Someone else
Was I someone else?
Now you are
Someone else
Someone else
Waited outside your apartment
You used to come down for me
