Chorus:
Am7           Ebdim7          Dm7
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
G7sus4                 Am7
They stare at me while I stare at you

Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
     G7sus4                  Am7
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
G7sus4                 Am7
They stare at me while I crave you
