Girl Afraid

Girl afraid
Where do his intentions lay?
Or does he even have any?
She says
He never really looks at me
I give him every opportunity
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
I'll never make that mistake again
(I'll never make that mistake again)
(I'll never make that mistake again)
Boy afraid
Prudence never pays
And everything she wants costs money
But she doesn't even like me!
And I know because she said so
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
I'll never make that mistake again!
