Jack, when we were younger we hung out

We were inseparable

But now, Jack, you stole my thunder

Like my girl became my nemesis

He might be Mr. popularity but

I wouldn't wanna change a thing about me

Uh oh oh don't take this as jealousy,

Just cause you're with him and not me

He drinks Daniel's at the bar,

Drives his daddy's Jaguar.

Rocking clothes with wills on the tag

Girl he's all up in your face

Wanna put him in his place

But right now I'd rather be Jack

Saying look can't you see

He's a dick compared to me

You should know he ain't really all that

I still need you in my world

But he's got you as his girl

And that's why I'd rather be Jack

I can't delete his story,

Wipe your smile from my memory,

And forget you ever crushed me

By sleeping with the enemy

I think he's just another wannabe,

so I wouldn't change a single thing about me

Oh, oh, you need to take this personally, cause

You're with him and not me

So when you get tired of the same old lines, same old faces, places,

There's always somewhere you can run

Pretty soon you will work it out

And I will be right here waiting,

Right here waiting 'cause...

Jack, Jack is not the right guy for—

Jack, Jack is not the right guy for you

Jack, Jack is not the right guy for you

And that's why I'd rather be Jack

And that's why I'd rather be Jack
