Help Lyrics

There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend
I am not interested in having a romantic relationship

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

I need to save some dough
I need to save money

I'm a working girl, you know
I have a job

I'll fend attention off I keep to myself
I will avoid unwanted attention by being reserved and keeping to myself

I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping
I enjoy spending time in my personal space and I have adjusted to my sleeping habits

Some nights I really like to lie awake
Occasionally, I prefer to stay awake at night and not go to sleep

I hear the midnight birds
I can hear birds chirping at midnight

The message in their words
The birds' sounds have meaning to me

The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch
The sunrise will have a greater impact on me than any physical touch from a boy

Their promise never meant so much to me
The birds' promise to return in the morning never meant so much to me as it does now

You have been warned, I'm warned to be contrary
I have warned you that I tend to be contrary, or go against the norm

Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
In school, I had unconventional behavior such as writing from right to left

Teacher never cared for me
My teacher did not pay much attention to me

Preacher said a prayer for me
A religious figure prayed for me

God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get
I need help, and the only one who can help me is God

I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call
I spend hours waiting for him to call me

I'll leave the chocolate hidden in the fridge
I will hide chocolate in the refrigerator

I'll play his messages
I will listen to his voicemail messages

Analyze his intonation
I will carefully study his tone of voice

Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself
Please interrupt me because even I am getting bored with what I am saying

I think of him when I'm doing the dishes
I daydream about him even while doing mundane tasks like washing dishes

I think of him while looking in the sink
I even think of him while staring at the sink, lost in thought

This ain't no play on words
I am not using any clever language tricks or wordplay

My love for him is absurd
My love for him is unreasonable or irrational

If he gave me a sign I'd think about it for a week
If he showed me any interest, it would consume my thoughts for a week

I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down
I would become emotionally invested in the idea of a relationship, only to reject him in the end
