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
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
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'
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*lyse his intonation
Please stop me there
I'm even boring myself
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
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'
