bet you showed everyone the flower from my necklace
and made up some story about why it's in the glove
compartment of your car
bet you told everyone about what a stud you are - how
you snagged a 17-year-old who pretends she knows
more than she does
bet you underestimated me, baby
bet you think i believe you when you say "i'm having
personal problems right now" and want me to just hold
on and wait until ...
bet you think i'll just sit right here at my computer
writing poems plays stories until the day you call and
say "everything's okay"
bet you don't know what i did to
the last guy (james)
who played me like a fool
... he has no friends now
wanna be james?
