How Can I Get You to Look
At me?
You come to this corner diner every night
Ordering the daily special with coffee hot and sweet
You stare at your phone, playing games and checking texts.
So baby, tell me, how can I get you to look at me?
I stand patiently by the register twirling my hair
Watching you not watching me
No matter how hard I try to get your attention
So tell me, how can I get you to look at me?
Baby, I can be your girl. And you can be my world.
I will be yours and you can be mine
Forever and for all time
Baby, I can be your girl. And you can be my world.
I will lay next to you with my head on your shoulder
With my hand on your chest, we can share all our dreams
And make love under the patchwork quilt my grandma made
So tell me, how can I get you to look at me?
I’m just that girl standing ten feet away
Sending you smiles you never receive
Topping off your coffee, I just want you to say hello
So tell me, how can I get you to look at me?
