i will fall in love with anyone
my greatest weakness if you ask me

show me attention
and you got mine

show me affection
and i will gladly give you mine

tell me you love me
and i will love you too

but i fear it is not true love
for it disappear whenever  someone else comes along

a week later i stay up wondering
what did i get myself into?

they all turn out the same
a boy who never liked me
a boy who made me like him
