...mmm one would have thought all the pain you've felt at the hands of men that use you
Who screen your calls when you need them 'cept when they wanna stick it in like Voodoo
Would have taught you to be empathic in turn to affections felt by a dude who,
from the moment he saw you thought he could see real magic channeling through you
But I forget that a girl as cute got many obnoxious creepers loomin'
And is therefore less inclined to relate to a man as a deeper human
Plus I know at the end of the day we all gotta make sacrifices to all the energy that we give so we can reserve what we need to keep us movin'

I can understand that... but it's hard to observe you generalise about gender
While I keep getting let down by apparently endless lies
Is it really true that a girl is better at sayin' just how she feel?
I must be half bitch then 'cause I swear I'm always the one that keeps it real
I don't claim I deserve your affections 'cause of any of my alleged virtues, either
But if I gotta be the only cunt (that's) gonna fight apathy, then curse you deeper
I know I ain't no prize - all I ask is a bit of compassion
Just as you would yourself want if you fell for another in a similar fashion

Last night you passed me on the street
And you just looked right through me
All the things that we said forever live
In a faraway world where we aren't yet strangers

So alas, I begin to think that I've walked 'till now in a backwards way
That in fact it's futile trying to get around all the games that the masses play
And don't get me started 'bout how you say you want a boy that's lovin' and honest
'Cause I know you turn those down in favour of players that never said nothin' that's modest
Yo the truth has rarely earned me anythin' other than shame and sadness, really
What was it that had me determined that love was the answer? Madness, clearly
Could have lost my mind over you, 'cause I think I expect too much
I refuse to stick to the rules, so of course I fail to connect and such

You'll probably dismiss this shit as crazy... egotistical maybe
But I hope deep down there still is a part that in secret will listen, relating
'Cause you know how it hurts despite your appeals when the one who you covet ignores you
We passed on the street last night like strangers, still I can't help but adore you
I remember that time we kissed, I thought "yo I def want more from her"
So I made the mistake of showing you how fuckin' cool I thought you were
Well I'm sorry for the waste of time - in the future I'll be less committal
If only to avoid the embarrassment of getting this hurt over one who cared so little
