I confess, I'm messed up Dropping "I'm sorry's" like you're still around And I know you dressed up Said "hey kid you'll never live this down" You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?" I don't blame you for being you But you can't blame me for hating it So say, what are you waiting for? Kiss her, kiss her I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late Write me off, give up on me Cause darling what did you expect I'm just off, a lost cause A long shot, don't even take this bet You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights Get all the sighs and the moans just right I'm just always on You said you'd keep me honest (You're always on) But I won't call you on it (You're always on) I don't blame you for being you But you can't blame me for hating it So say, what are you waiting for? Kiss her, kiss her I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
