You glance in my direction
And it is like you look right through me
It is as if you can not see me
I dance, I scream, I demand your attention
And yet you stare on.
You joke and talk to my friends
I try to be witty and coy
Do you even notice
I sing, I joke, I lean toward you
and yet you talk on
You say it is a charade
I try to have my own
Sometime you don't seem to even care
I try, I try, I try to get you off my mind
and yet . . . I can't
When no one else is around
I hold your entire attention
Then you get what you want
and it's back to being cool
I lie here and cry
