Out of fashion, out-dated
there's no help for it, so let me be
unattractive, rejected
because I show myself so conspicuously
and attract attention needlessly
That's how I'm seen. I am seen
and the whispering amuses me
although nobody talks to me
And you let me wait again
until the reception calls
that you are there
So I just sit here
looking out the window
I am used to it, there is nothing to see
at the back of the hotel
and it is getting dark
You always were impatient
My make-up took too long for you
and you sat angry in the car
but if I behaved exactly
the way you had conceived
you could really be sweet
