There is no way I'm looking
 For a boyfirend
 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 born 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 eat the chocolate
 Hidden in the fridge
 I'll play his messages 
 Analyse 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's 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 born 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'
