Song Lyrics

You wear your hair
Like it's your best accessory
And I don't want to
Ever have to compete with that
And I know you'd be
Nothing but excessively sweet
Cherish me, sing to me, love me...
But...

I can't belong
To anybody else right now
Though it is not much of an excuse
I can't belong
To anybody else when I've got
So much figuring out to do..

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be a girlfriend
I don't want to talk about my feelings... Ya
I don't wanna be some girlfriend...
I don't want to have to explain what I'm thinking

I go alone
To watch stupid romance movies
And I sit, wishing,
It was your arms wrapped around me
And I just deny
That all I want is a piece of you
But I guess it's true, don't wanna talk on the phone,
Don't want attachments, don't wanna be your girlfriend...
I...

Just can't belong
To anybody else right now
Though it is not much of an excuse
I can't belong
To anybody else when I've got
So much figuring out to do...

[Chorus]

Is it wrong for me to want you... Just for a day
I don't want to be that kind of girl
But I can't help myself...

I can't belong
To anybody else right now
Like a girlfriend
I don't want to talk about my feelings... Ya
I don't wanna be some girlfriend...
I don't want to have to explain what I'm thinking
