There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend   There is no way I'm looking for a scene   I need to save some dough   I'm a working girl, you know   I'll fend attention off I keep to myself      I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping   Some nights I really like to lie awake   I hear the midnight birds   The message in their words   The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch   Their promise never meant so much to me       You have been warned, I'm warned to be contrary    Backward at school, I wrote from right to left   Teacher never cared for me   Preacher said a prayer for me   God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get      I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call   I'll leave the chocolate hidden in the fridge   I'll play his messages   Analyze his intonation   Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself      I think of him when I'm doing the dishes   I think of him while looking in the sink   This ain't no play on words   My love for him is absurd    If he gave me a sign I'd think about it for a week    I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down      You have been warned, I'm warned to be contrary    Backward at school, I wrote from right to left   Teacher never cared for me   Preacher said a prayer for me   God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get
