Keep Score

There are no expectations here
so you don't have to try
too hard to pretend you're sincere.

I'm not holding you
responsible for whatever
damage is inflicted
the last thing I want
is that you'd be conflicted
and afflicted by the emotions
you think you own
when this whole situation's blown
out of proportion.

Trust me,
All I want right now
is a little attention
and nothing more
so please, don't keep score
baby, don't keep score.

It's a lost cause, obviously
as you hold me tentatively
in public
Of course, you would be
a little paranoid
then why do you keep on
rejecting what you can't avoid?

Darling, don't get me wrong
I'm not trying to hang you out to dry
there's nothing I'm trying to imply

Trust me,
all I want right now
is just a little attention
maybe a sliver of affection
and nothing more
