[Verse 1]
There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend
There is no way I'm looking for a scene
I need to save some dough
I'm a working girl, you know
I'll fend attention off, I keep to myself
[Verse 2]
I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping
Some nights I really like to lie awake
I hear the midnight birds
The message in their words
The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch
Their promise never meant so much to me
[Chorus]
You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
Teacher never cared for me
Preacher said a prayer for me
God help the girl
She needs all the help she can get
[Verse 3]
I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call
I'll eat the chocolate hidden in the fridge
I'll play his messages
an*lyze his intonation
Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself
[Verse 4]
I think of him when I'm doing the dishes
I think of him while looking in the sink
This ain't no play on words
My love for him's absurd
If he gave me a sign, I'd think about it for a week
I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down
[Chorus]
You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
Teacher never cared for me
Preacher said a prayer for me
God help the girl
She needs all the help she can get
