"I walked into the room
Dripping in gold"
I saw you from the other side
Loving so cold

I felt the need to see you
Hunting through the crowd
I strutted the room music
Blasting so loud

I wanted you to see me
Joining my dance
If only you were falling
Under my trance

The music intoxicating my body
Moving every way
I waited for you to come over
Wanting your eyes to stay

You look around the room
Searching for the right one
Just as you were leaving
I was about to have fun

I’ve given up on myself
Knowing you will never want me
The others in this room
Would kill to be this free

"Why can’t you want me
Like the other boys do
They stare at me while
I crave you"

The first two lines of the first stanza and the last stanza are taken from the song by Flight Facilities titled "Crave You”.
