You stay away from me
|
|
because you know I'm good for you
|
|
and you are masochistic too
|
|
the reason I want you so much
|
|
is cuz I know you're no good for me
|
|
so together we are perfect dontcha see?
|
|
|
|
I'm the one you want
|
|
when you're so close I try to flaunt it
|
|
but you pretend not to notice
|
|
yet I know you're being BOGUS
|
|
when you flirt with other women
|
|
and I know I could be swimmin' in yer sea
|
|
|
|
I could be so jealous of someone like me
|
|
someone's got it all yet they just don't see
|
|
I shut out acceptance so I won't get hurt
|
|
and move on to the next one who will
|
|
|
|
Treat me like dirt
|
|
Treat me like dirt
|
|
Treat me like dirt
|
|
|
|
Standing at the threshold of another
|
|
bad obsession, yeah-too bad it's with
|
|
a person who could never treat me
|
|
worse then how the way you treated me
|
|
when I was staring at the backside of your neck
|
|
|
|
I was hoping soon you'd turn around
|
|
and look me over, up and down my heart was racing
|
|
cuz I knew I couldn't face you after giving you my heart and soul
|
|
andgiving you the body of my mind
|
|
|
|
If I had a dollar every minute
|
|
every hour that I spent obcessing
|
|
MADLY how you treated me so
|
|
BADLY and how badly that I
|
|
wanted you the night you
|
|
left me outside in the cold
|
|
|
|
But the thing that really gets me
|
|
is the way you walk right past me
|
|
yes you're talking to some other
|
|
and pretending she's your lover
|
|
just to get me turnin' GREEN
|
|
inside like bein' seen with me
|
|
would be a crime
|
|
|
|
I could be so jealous of someone like me
|
|
someone's got it all yet they just don't see
|
|
I shut out acceptance so I won't get hurt
|
|
and move on to the next one who will
|
|
|
|
Treat me like dirt
|
|
Treat me like dirt
|
|
Treat me like dirt
|
|
|
|
4:30 in the morning
|
|
pickin' up the phone I'm yawning
|
|
just awakened at the minute
|
|
from a dream that had you in it
|
|
I can still hear your sweet talking
|
|
but the next day you'd be walking
|
|
out on me
|
|
|
|
Some day soon I know it
|
|
maybe in December snow I'm
|
|
gonna get you all alone and
|
|
take you to a place I've shown
|
|
to no one else in this great
|
|
world-yes, the place where
|
|
you will see me as you GIRL
|
