Keep Falling For You

by Emma Carnage   May 25, 2005


You kid and you joke
You say that you want me
You say that I’m hot
And even once said beautiful
But that’s all that you do
You never make your move
I’m just another toy
Just another play thing

You pull me up tight
And lean in close
Put your lips near my face
And next to my ear
But right when I expect something
Expect you to whisper your feelings
Right when my heartbeat picks up
And I think maybe something’s going to happen
You tell just another joke
And I’m crushed once again

I don’t know what it is about you
But ever since I met you
I’ve been at least slightly attracted to you
Even when I wouldn’t admit it
To myself or anyone else
I know there was something there
Because I stuck up for you
Told them all to just shut up
And said I didn’t care what they thought
Whenever people said something about you
Or I heard your name in the hall
My ears would prick up a bit
And I would listen in suspense

I don’t understand their thinking
They say you’re just some sleaze
They say they can’t stand your guts
But the more they seem to hate you
The more you seem to grow on me
I don’t know what it is about you
I don’t know what it is about me
But whenever you squeeze me tight
And hug me in the hallway
I hope one of my friends will see
One of those that hate you so much
I hope they get pissed off about it

Maybe I just like that feeling
The feeling that in an odd sort of way
You are forbidden to me
Maybe if I really wanted
And if I really tried
I could get you for myself
But my friends all hate you
And that’s what makes it so great
I fall for those types
I fall for the “bad” boys
I fall for the ones I can’t have
I fall for the outcasts
And I keep falling for you
