Help! Lyrics

There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend
I'm not interested in finding a romantic partner right now.

There is no way I'm looking for a scene
I'm not interested in being part of a particular social group or community.

I need to save some dough
I need to save money.

I'm a working girl, you know
I work hard for a living.

I'll fend attention off I keep to myself
I'll avoid attracting unwanted attention by keeping to myself.

I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping
I enjoy spending time alone in my room and I'm comfortable sleeping by myself.

Some nights I really like to lie awake
Sometimes I enjoy staying awake at night to think or reflect.

I hear the midnight birds
I hear the sounds of nature at night.

The message in their words
I interpret the sounds of nature as meaningful.

The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch
The beauty of nature affects me more than any romantic relationship ever could.

Their promise never meant so much to me
The natural world provides me with comfort and hope.

You have been warned, I'm warned to be contrary
I have a reputation for being rebellious.

Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
I struggled academically and sometimes did things unconventionally.

Teacher never cared for me
I didn't have a strong relationship with my teachers.

Preacher said a prayer for me
I may have been viewed as troubled or in need of guidance.

God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get
I'm in a difficult phase of life and could use some support and guidance.

I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call
I spend a lot of time thinking about a particular person.

I'll leave the chocolate hidden in the fridge
I have a secret indulgence that I keep to myself.

I'll play his messages
I listen to his voicemails or other forms of communication repeatedly.

Analyze his intonation
I pay close attention to the way he speaks.

Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself
I recognize that my obsession with this person is becoming tiring and uninteresting.

I think of him when I'm doing the dishes
I find myself preoccupied with thoughts of him even during mundane tasks.

I think of him while looking in the sink
Even looking at a sink reminds me of him.

This ain't no play on words
I'm being sincere and genuine in my feelings.

My love for him is absurd
My intense feelings for him seem unreasonable or irrational.

If he gave me a sign I'd think about it for a week
If he showed any interest in me, I would obsess over it for days.

I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down
Ultimately, my fear of rejection or commitment would prevent me from pursuing a relationship with him.
