God Help the Girl

There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend There is no way I'm looking for a scene I need to save some dough I'm a working girl, you know I'll fend attention off, I keep to myself I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping Some nights I really like to lie awake I hear the midnight birds The message in their words The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch Their promise never meant so much to me You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary Backward at school, I wrote from right to left Teacher never cared for me Preacher said a prayer for me God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call I'll eat the chocolate hidden in the fridge I'll play his messages Analyse his intonation Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself I think of him when I'm doing the dishes I think of him while looking in the sink This ain't no play on words My love for him is absurd If he gave me a sign, I'd think about it for a week I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary Backward at school, I wrote from right to left Teacher never cared for me Preacher said a prayer for me God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get
