I'M WALKING HOME

How long have you played this game unnoticed?
Why can't I just love you from afar?
I don't expect our lips will meet
While I'm staring down at my feet
Resigned you'll never find me in this smoky old bar
So I'm walking home, a cab won't do me no good
Just walk off this alcohol and these feelings, like us good girls should
It's not your fault I don't throw in my hat
So Darlin', Don't you take it like that
You're too damn busy, and I'm walking home
The North wind makes me cling tight to my jacket
When I should just embrace the cold night air
It's not as bad as it may seem
When I close my eyes I can dream
It's just your fingers running wild through my hair
But...I'm walking home, a cab won't do me no good
Just walk off this alcohol and these feelings, like us good girls should
It's not your fault I don't throw in my hat
So Darlin', Don't you take it like that
You're too damn busy, and I'm walking home
Perhaps this love is best left unrequited
Maybe I had better just think twice
With most boys sharing this dance
They're nice just to get in your pants
But with you I'm so afraid that you'll just kiss to be nice
So I'm walking home, a cab won't do me no good
Just walk off this alcohol and these feelings, like us good girls should
It's not your fault I don't throw in my hat
So Darlin', Don't you take it like that
You're too damn busy, and I'm walking home
