1.

You don't know my name,

Or how I like my tea;

You've just seen my face,

Now you think you understand me.

 

I catch you staring through blurred vision

at my body from across the bar.

I remember you from last time,

when you followed me to the car.

 

At least, I think that was you;

but how could I know?

When you all have different faces,

and all ignore my "no".

 

No, I will not go home with you.

No, I will not kiss you goodnight.

No, I will not give you my number.

No, I won't give you a sight.

 

I will not let you hold my hips,

or let you grab my waist.

You say that my lips look delicious,

but you cannot have a taste.

 

I am so much more than the way I look;

but my personality, to you, is a waste.

I guess that I should just get used to

being nothing more than a pretty face.
