We both know that this ain't going anywhere
I know what you are, you know who I am
I'm a good girl, I play by the rules, while you pretend
I know that you lie, so there's nothing to hide
So why are you trying so hard when it's a hopeless cause?
You smile like that, I think I was supposed to swoon
Well you look surprised at what you see in my eyes
Well no matter what you do or say, I'm not giving you the time of day
I once wanted something like that, but it's not okay
I first thought there might have been something there
But people do talk, and honey, your list ain't bare
I want something more, something you can't give to me
Something meaningful, do you even know the word?
So stop trying so hard it's a hopeless cause
You smile like that, I think I was supposed to swoon
Well you look surprised at what you see in my eyes
Well no matter what you do or say, I'm not giving you the time of day
I once wanted something like that, but it's not okay
Look me in the eyes, and tell me you mean it
Look me in the eyes, and say it's for real
Look me in the eyes, and tell me you mean it
You can't do it, you can't do it
You smile like that, I think I was supposed to swoon (my bad)
Well you look surprised at what you see in my eyes
Well no matter what you do or say, I'm not giving you the time of day
I once wanted something like that, but it's not okay
Oh, I once wanted something like that, but it's not okay
