[00:07.280]There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend
[00:13.380]There is no way I'm looking for a scene
[00:19.750]I need to save some dough
[00:22.980]I'm a working girl, you know
[00:26.120]I'll fend attention off I keep to myself
[00:32.500]I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping
[00:38.820]Some nights I really like to lie awake
[00:45.180]I hear the midnight birds
[00:48.340]The message in their words
[00:51.540]The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch
[00:56.240]Their promise never meant so much to me
[00:57.840]You have been warned, I'm warned to be contrary
[01:04.300]Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
[01:10.600]Teacher never cared for me
[01:13.760]Preacher said a prayer for me
[01:16.960]God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get
[01:23.250]I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call
[01:29.600]I'll leave the chocolate hidden in the fridge
[01:35.990]I'll play his messages
[01:39.290]Analyze his intonation
[01:42.440]Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself
[01:48.630]I think of him when I'm doing the dishes
[01:55.140]I think of him while looking in the sink
[02:01.410]This ain't no play on words
[02:04.520]My love for him is absurd
[02:08.320]If he gave me a sign I'd think about it for a week
[02:12.180]I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down
[02:14.140]You have been warned, I'm warned to be contrary
[02:20.400]Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
[02:26.820]Teacher never cared for me
[02:30.030]Preacher said a prayer for me
[02:33.180]God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get
