Why don't you do me a favor?
Just a small payment in kind.
For some affection coming from my direction,
I'll try not to be a waste of time.
Chorus:
Just pretend that you love me. Look at me longer than you do.
Let me be the reason you're not sleeping at night
And be by my side when I'm dreaming of you.
I spend too much time on my hair and muddle over what I should wear.
My mind is dispensing, my heart is commencing.
I'm mindless while you're unaware...
(Repeat chorus)
I hope you'll realize it one day before my fickle ways carry on
But 'till then you could save me baby and act like you love me for fun.
Spoken:
Do you really not know that I care?
God, I hope you haven't seen me stare
But, I can't seem to fake it.
In hopes you'll mistake it,
'Cause I think we'd be a perfect pair.
(Repeat chorus)
FUN FACT: We finished the song and immediately went on to record a rough demo of it then and there.The vocal and lead guitar were done in one take, standing across from each other...
And we kept them.
