Juliet Favero - Adored Lyrics

I was adored once by someone like you
He read the morning paper and watched the evening news
He told me I was pretty with big eyes like the moon
But I couldn't do the crossword so he left me in June

Will you take me for granted like he did before
Don't tell me you're enchanted, just to smile and close the door

To be adored is like chalk on a sidewalk, until it rains and then you watch it wash away
To be adored is locking eyes when he talks, and it's your fifteen minutes of fame
'Til you're forgotten, and he, looks the other way

I was adored once by someone like you
He could play guitar, but never quite in tune
But I still liked to hold him, held on tight to my balloon
But he slipped right through my fingers and by Sunday we were through

Will you take me for granted like he did before
Don't tell me you're enchanted, just to smile and close the door

To be adored is like chalk on a sidewalk, until it rains and then you watch it wash away
To be adored is locking eyes when he talks, and it's your fifteen minutes of fame
'Til you're forgotten, and he, looks the other way

I was adored once by someone like you
I asked him, "Whatcha thinkin'?" cause I didn't have a clue
He talked about a lot of things that he wanted to do
But he never said my dear, I'm thinking of you
That's when I knew, that it would hurt
Cause if he asked, that would be my answer
If I adored the boy in the white T-shirt, I'd adore him forever after
Once isn't enough, Once isn't enough

Will you take me for granted like he did before
I don't want to be enchanted, to end up crying on the floor

To be adored is like chalk on a sidewalk, until it rains and then you watch it wash away
To be adored is locking eyes when we talk, and I'm praying that you won't look away
And now we're talking, and you're looking at my face
