Chappell Roan's GOOD LUCK, BABE! and her struggle in quantum physics and formal nomenclature

Play along at home with the lyrics:

[Verse 1]

It’s fine, it's cool

You can say that we are nothing but you know the truth

And guess i'm the fool

With her arms out like an angel through the car sunroof

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't wanna call it off

But you don't wanna call it love

You just wanna love someone who calls you baby

[Chorus]

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars

Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling

You can say it's just the way you are

Make a new excuse another stupid reason

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

[Verse 2]

I’m cliche

Who cares

It's a sexually explicit kind of love affair

And i cry, it's not fair

I just need a little lovin’ i just need a little air

[Pre-Chorus]

Think im gonna call it off

Even if you call it love

I just wanna love someone who calls me baby

[Chorus]

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars

Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling

You can say it's just the way you are

Make a new excuse another stupid reason

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

[Bridge]

And when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night

With your head in your hands you’re nothing more than his wife

And when you think about me all of those years ago

You're standing face to face with ""i told you so""

You know I hate to say , i told you so

You know i hate to say it but, i told you so

Well i told you so

[Chorus]

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars

Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling

You can say it's just the way you are

Make a new excuse another stupid reason

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

[Outro]

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
