Melissa I know
I'm not the girl you want me to be
If I could ever be
The kind of boy you want has
Nothing to do with me
(Melissa I know)
Melissa I know
If only I knew what I could be
For you and me
A note on your desktop
A heart in my locker
My heart on my sleeve
It wasn't enough to sway you
I just wanted you to believe
But there was always a boy around
Dragging your heart southbound
Changing hands and all the while
I was the novelty
Melissa I know
I'm not the boy you want me to be
If I could ever be
The kind of girl friend you want
Has nothing to do with me
(Melissa I know)
Melissa I know
If only I knew what I could be
For you and me
The playfulness and side-eyes
I'm not sure what to expect
This feeling was new and something
I would never forget
A friend would never feel this way
'Sides you have one that's best
I can't blame you in your defense
I was the novelty
Melissa I know
I'm not the girl you want me to be
If I could ever be
The kind of boy you want has
Nothing to do with me
(Melissa I know)
Melissa I know
If only I knew what I could be
For you and me
Melissa I know
I'm not the boy you want me to be
If I could ever be
The kind of girl friend you want
Has nothing to do with me
(Melissa I know)
Melissa I know
I'm not the girl you want me to be
(Melissa I know)
Melissa I know
If only I knew what I could be
For you and me
(Melissa I know)
