Lyrics

I was the type of girl who
Dated only the hottest guys you see
But every time though
They were not faithful to me
Doing the same things over again
Like dating the same type of men
It is pure insanity
That’s when it dawned on me
Why don't I try my friend zone
Even tho I’m not used to it
I’ll take a chance on the unknown
So I can find a better fit!
They may all laugh at me
But you just wait and see
They'll all have to grow up
After he gets his glow up
'Cause a five right now
Has the heart of a ten
And we'll discover just
Who's laughing then
A friend of mine had a guy she called Buddy
They were just best friends 'til she thought he was a hottie
They didn't give a damn about what everybody said
Together they fell in love instead
And I asked her
Did you find him in the friend zone?
Even tho you were not used to it…
Did you take a chance on the unknown
To find yourself a better fit?
They may all laugh at me
But you just wait and see
They'll all have to grow up
After he gets his glow up
'Cause a five right now
Has the heart of a ten
And we'll discover just
Who's laughing then
They say don’t judge a book by its cover
Look inside and you might just uncover
You might find him in the friend zone
Even tho you’re not used to it…
Just take a chance on the unknown
To find yourself a better fit!
They may all laugh at me
But you just wait and see
They'll all have to grow up
After he gets his glow up
'Cause a five right now
Has the heart of a ten
And we'll discover just
Who's laughing then
NOBODY will be laughing then!

Behind the Music

Composer’s Thoughts

This song is actual advice inspired by what happened with a friend. An incredibly smart and attractive model kept finding herself being used, abused, cheated on and abandoned by the “pretty boys” she was dating in Hollywood. So I suggested that she stop doing the same thing and try to find a guy who would love and appreciate her completely. After all, she could always help him GLOW UP, just with her presence and support. She did precisely that. They’ve been married a decade now, and have the most amazing family and cutest daughter. I couldn’t be prouder.

Gianna’s Thoughts

This was my first song for the collective, and it is so cute. Don’t judge a book by its cover is so real. As soon as I read the part about how a five right now has the heart of a ten, I felt a punch to the gut, realizing how so many amazing people get overlooked for such superficial reasons. It really spoke to me. I hope it does to others too.
