Clueless (from Clueless the Musical)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I thought that I was in control, as if Thought I was really on a roll, as if I thought that I knew best, and never guessed which way the cards would fall I really thought I knew it all, as if I thought I'd help a friend in need, yeah right Thought I could nobly intercede, not quite And when it went awry, she found a guy who wasn't meant for her At least I never thought they were, as if [Pre-Chorus 1] I thought he'd want someone who'd balance out his quirks Someone who's smart enough to stand up to his smirks Someone who'd help him take life way less seriously I thought hе'd want someone a little morе like me [Chorus 1] I've been clueless, so clueless, simply clueless all along I thought I knew just what to do, then got it all so wrong And I blew it, can't undo it, and it could have been so great Now I see the clues but it's too late It's too late [Verse 2] I thought my path was crystal clear, as if Thought I, alone, knew how to steer, as if So I got turned and tossed and slightly lost and wound up way off track But will I let that set me back?, as if I thought I needed to be in the driver's seat And that the journey had to feel all nice and neat And every detail had to always fit just so But now, I think it's, maybe, time to let that go Let that go Let that go Ooh ahh [Chorus 2] I was clueless, so clueless, but at last, I think I see I have to deal with what is real, not what I think should be More than clueless, it's hubris, and I'll tell you what that means I'm sorry no 'if's, 'but's or 'in-between's [Chorus 3] I was clueless, so clueless, but I think deep down I knew The whole long list of clues I missed were leading me to you I'm clueless, so foolish, or at least I was before I guess I'm not so clueless anymore [Outro] Thank god I'm not so clueless anymore
