I've been listening for hours
I've been staying up way past ten
I have cast away the flowers
They don't speak of now they speak of then
Honestly, you don't play hide and seek
When a girl like me comes knocking at your door
Can't you see the obvious before you
With a girl like me you know you won't get bored
Why am I listening for hours?
While you talk and talk and tell me how I feel
You're such an expert but where you fail
Is in telling me what for you is real
Honestly, you don't play hide and seek…
I can see it, clear as daylight
Clear as words and you know that I don't lie
I don't settle, and yes you know that I mean it
Did you say I should be yours and you, mine?
It's really simple as one, two, three
You don't go messing with a girl like me
No need to worry if it don't feel right
I'll call somebody else some other night
It's really simple as one, two, three
You don't go messing with a girl like me
I tell you honestly it don't seem right
I'll call somebody else some other night
I've been listening for hours
Now I'm ready to claim what's mine
I have cast away the flowers
I'm just making room for the next in line
Honestly, you don't play hide and seek…
It's really simple as one, two, three…
