Leading On

Don't you sleep better now,

now that you told me no

don't you feel like a man

you just flirt and then go,

don't you think she'll be proud

and then put me away

she'll be thinking all night

about what happened today



but what does that matter,

saying no is worse, than just saying ok

lying to yourself is worse than me getting my way



You always beg me to show you

about how things are done

then you leave me alone

when I return with the fun,

i'll never understand lately

why you just cant give it up

that life you think is so perfect

and I just feel like a slut



i'm done waiting, i'm not waiting,

you had your chance, you wouldn't budge

you left me crying all alone with a grudge

i opened my heart, you looked so smug,

you walked away and dusted me right under the rug



so don't ask me, don't beg me

you had ur chance, you left me numb

i felt so left out, i felt so dumb,

you held it back, i wanted to run,

I had no dignity left, and you only had some.
