You saw me too

I've got guys waiting in the line for me to play, my evil girly games with all their minds

Just watch me, I've got it down to a simple art, just bat my eyes like this, and there's a broken heart

But somehow you turn the tables, what the hell? I can charm the pants of anyone else, but you

Stephen why won't you call me?
