Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own
One moment I have you the next you are gone

Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I, crave you

I walked into the room dripping in gold (drip-ping in gold)
I walked into the room dripping in gold (drip-ping in gold)
A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told (or so I've been told)
My heart broke when I saw, you'd kept your gaze controlled
Oh I cannot solve

Let's just stop and think
Before I lose face
Surely I can't fall
Into a game of chase

Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled
I try to reach out, but he's in his own world
This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games
I simply want him more because he looks the other way
