I've been feeling time brushing up against my skin and like
I can live without my drugs tonight.
I can live without my armor right?
I can have fun tonight.
Doesn't matter if my load is light.
Doesn't matter if I'm no one's bride.
Doesn't matter (does it?) cuz I got that pride.
But I can feel it go cuz I remember every no,
Every time I got shut down every boring runaround.
I can feel it burn cause all I see is all I learn,
Nothing borrowed, only blue, something old I never knew.
How much hotter do I have to get
Before the boys I like will like me too?
And how much cooler do I have to get
Before my desperation seems aloof?
And how much wiser do I have to get
Before I stop running the same old track?
How much smarter do u have to get before u like me back?
Love sick! And totally out of control of my feelings!
But I know that I'm worth your time,
I've put up with too much hiding.
I'm sick of never getting to act on my feelings.
I need somebody to play with me, consensually.
And I should have it now,
Everything about me tells u how.
Everything about me's like oh wow.
Everything about me's like bam-pow.
It's me, snuggling in bed with my trophies.
Badges ribbons and decorations,
Best in Patience.
It's you, admiring everything lovely about me,
But with a scholarly distance in your eyes,
Like an intellectual exercise,
So I can always just stimulate your mind.
But what about mine?
How much hotter do I have to get
Before the boys I like will like me too?
And how much cooler do I have to get
Before my desperation seems aloof?
And how much wiser do I have to get
Before I stop running the same old track?
How much smarter do u have to get before u like me back?
So I'll just stay right here.
I'm stickin with the Wiccan with recording gear.
Gotta get a little giggle when yr life's too queer.
Gotta live a little louder when yr light's unclear.
But I can feel it grow,
And now my heart is gonna blow
Chunks of hope on everything.
Gotta clean a little glimmer off the window of my wonder while I'm thinking.
It's the danger zone,
Cuz I can't live my life alone.
Gimme the truth now minus the tude,
Just gimme a decent answer dude.
How much smarter do you have to get? (Before you like me back)
How much cooler do you have to get? (Before you like me back)
Before you like me back
Before you like me back
Before you like me back

Spooky as HELL AND LOVING IT
And I love that they included different actors playing the poor doomed intern...It just comes to show how the very same script is unique in every performance and every single person on the role MarlaHectic
