Just baked my seventeenth cake today
finger sandwiches on a silver tray
waiting here for him to call
sit around and do nothing at all
I have been here the whole time
I took what you gave and refined
it like sugar it will make you hungry
You don t even want to know me
Honey where are you?--answer me I mean it
Lie you re caught up give it back I m waiting
Why can t you get over it? I don t know I don t know
All I see for you is a dead end
Why can t you just stay in school
When are you gonna get a boyfriend
let me tell you what I d do
Won t you find the time to listen
Stop pretending that I fit in
Television eyes-they re empty
you don t even want to know me
Are you gonna wear that?--so?--Straighten up I m not you
Let me help stay away don t touch me I just want you to be happy
Why can t you get over it? I don t know I don t know
Mom?--seventeen cakes I don t care get a boyfriend
Turn off the t.v. I don t know how I told you so I m warning you
Why can t you get over it? I don t know I don t know
