Chorus:
Dm7           Abdim7          Gm7
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
C7sus4                 Dm7
They stare at me while I stare at you
Dm7         Abdim7     Gm7
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
    C7sus4                Dm7
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Dm7        Abdim7      Gm7
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
     C7sus4                  Dm7
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Dm7            Abdim7         Gm7
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
C7sus4                 Dm7
They stare at me while I crave you
