I sit in the back of the class Glancing at you in the corner of my eye Watching you write, read, and listen Memorizing the way you lean back in a chair And how you always pack up with thirty seconds left My English teacher once said "Looking has power, because when you're looking at someone you have the upper hand because you know what they're doing." I suppose I have a lot of power over you Because I constantly want to look at your beauty And see how you smile And listen as you laugh Maybe one day, I'll get the courage to talk to you too

Looking
I sit in the back of the class Glancing at you in the corner of my eye Watching you write, read, and listen Memorizing the way you lean back in a chair And how you always pack up with thirty seconds left My English teacher once said "Looking has power, because when you're looking at someone you have the upper hand because you know what they're doing." I suppose I have a lot of power over you Because I constantly want to look at your beauty And see how you smile And listen as you laugh Maybe one day, I'll get the courage to talk to you too
