I don't need you, but I
Want you to need me
But you pass me by
You pass me by
I wish you'd want to know me
But keep on acting phony
Ask me why
Please pass me by
Damn, you fine
But you can pass me by
Why? Mentally, you're a lullaby
But
That's given time, in an instant, eye-to-eye
Chemistry may arrive, two souls say "hi"
The brevity, deafening
The memory, heavenly
Actually, never-ly
So
If you passed me, it's in the past, and I don't look at that
If we happen to link in the future, let's splash
I don't need you, but I
Want you to need me
But you pass me by
You pass me by
I wish you'd want to know me
But keep on acting phony
Ask me why
Please pass me by
I know you like the attention
And I can't help but look in your direction
But your stuck up face acts like lookin' is a crime
What do you expect when you put that short skirt on a dime?
And you are that fine, but you don't have the mind
And spend a second on an airhead, I don't have the time
You was wanting me to miss you, but now I'm hoping that you miss me
'Cause these runaround games got Scrilly feeling dizzy
I don't need you, but I
Want you to need me
But you pass me by
You pass me by
I wish you'd want to know me
But keep on acting phony
Ask me why
Please pass me by
Can you explain to me how you can claim to be a friend of mine
When you're perfectly content to hurt my head until the end of time?
Let's blur the lines like an airbrush
The deck is stacked against me, but impossible odds don't scare us
(What you mean us?)
Every straight male ever
Salute to secret admirers and hate mail letters
And shout-out to the drafts folder
Hit send and hide your face until your ass sober
Shot is worse than the hangover
I don't need you, but I
Want you to need me
But you pass me by
You pass me by
I wish you'd want to know me
But keep on acting phony
Ask me why
Please pass me by
