I've  seen you watching
 Her everytime  she crosses the floor
So  won't you just go and talk  to
The  one you really  adore
I'm  getting pretty used  to being
 The one  that you always ignore
When  somebody wants  you
I've seen  it before

You're  every kind of color
 There ain't nothing  you won't claim
Your  ambition and promise
And  your addiction  to fame
And  everyone's got a dollar
Sign  after their name
When  somebody wants  you
You  treat em just  the same
So  go on a pick-up
 You don't care  what poison you choose
 And what person  you choose
 It should've been me,  yeah
Shouldn't  it be?
Crushing quiet
Blows  in through the window
To  someone who wants  you
That  you never know
But  I pick up around  you
And  clear everything out
Leave  you where I found  you
I figured  you out
Leave  you where I found  you
I figured  you out
