Pretty 101
I hope you know,
 I really hope you know,
 What you're doing to me
 When you don't even think I notice
 One glance,
 You give me one glance--
 And it's too much
 And my knees are weak
 And my heart is beating 
 And my mind goes wild
 But on the outside
 I twirl my hair on my finger
 And pop a hip
 Like the pretty girl they taught me to be at school
 I walk by you 
 So slowly--
 So you can see me cross my arms
 And bat my lashes
 And pretend I don't care
 When really I'm just trying not to stare 
 I hope you know
 What you've made me into
 Always on my mind,
 You're always on my mind
 And even though you look at me that way
 Even though I can feel you staring at me
 I don't think I'm on yours
 Until I'm there
 Until you can see what they taught me to be at school
 Twirling my hair
 Popping my hip
 Crossing my arms
 Averting my eyes
 I pass the test every time
