It's not that I don't trust you
I just know what you've been up to
And this dial tone is agreeing with everything I've had in mind
And you've got your high as a kite tricks in the bag

So as his eyes move past your shoulders
And the shades start moving in the
Same direction, don't worry, I won't say a thing
And you can't blame a girl for sticking to what she knows

Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can

If I could get to sleep then
I guess you could stop pretending
'Cause if I didn't think you loved it
Well then I wouldn't play along and
You've got your high as a kite tricks in the bag

Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can

You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb
It's cool 'cause I let you; thought I'd never catch you
You said, "We're only friends", yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet

You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb
It's cool 'cause I let you; thought I'd never catch you
You'd say, "We're only friends", yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet

You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb
It's cool 'cause I let you; thought I'd never catch you
You'd say, "We're only friends", yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet

Forget your legs around my hips
Forget your hands pressed on my back
Forget all the letters that I kept
This is another I won't send
Forget your lips, your eyes, your thighs
Forget our one last kiss goodbye
Forget me staking out your house
This time I've got you figured out

Forget your legs around my hips
Forget your hands pressed on my back
Forget all the letters that I kept
This is another I won't send
