Why can't you want me like
the other boys do
They stare at me while I stare at you
Summertime east side New York City
It's too hot to sleep
Half alive and my mind is drippin
I'm twistin the sheets
Cause my heart can't be satisfied
By anyone but you tonight
And when I try it only makes me blue
Why can't you want me like the
other boys do
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't you want me baby
what can I do
I don't want other boys
I just want you
I don't want other boys
I just want you
I don't want other boys
Silhouettes a city of shadows
They all take your shape
In my defense you've
got me unraveled
And I can't see straight
Cause my heart can't be satisfied
By anyone but you tonight
And when I try it only
makes me blue why
Why can't you want me
like the other boys do
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't you want me baby
what can I do
I don't want other boys
I just want you
I don't want other boys
I just want you
I don't want other boys
I just want you
Why can't you want me like
the other boys do
They stare at me while
I stare at you
Why can't you want me
baby what can I do
I don't want other boys
I just want you
