I could paint my nails or braid my hair,
Get in the car and travel somewhere.
Watch TV or read a book,
Take a class and learn to cook.
Draw a picture, color it in,
Or call an old friend to see how she's been.
Go to the gym or go to the park,
Watch scary movies alone in the dark.
Listen to music and dance to the tune,
Take a bubble bath until I look like a prune.
Take a long nap, then make a snack,
Maybe go for a run around the track.
All of these things I have to do
To keep myself from thinking of you.
