Other Boys

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you

Summertime, East Side New York City
It's too hot to sleep
Half-alive, and my mind is drippin'
I'm twistin' the sheets

'Cause my heart can't be satisfied
By anyone but you tonight
And when I try, it only makes me blue

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't you want me, baby, what can I do?
I don't want other boys, I just want you
I don't want other boys, I just want you
I don't want other boys

Silhouettes, a city of shadows
They all take your shape
In my defense, you've got me unraveled
And I can't see straight

'Cause my heart can't be satisfied
By anyone but you tonight
And when I try, it only makes me blue (why?)

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't you want me, baby, what can I do?
I don't want other boys, I just want you
I don't want other boys, I just want you
I don't want other boys (I just want you)

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't you want me, baby, what can I do?
I don't want other boys, I just want you
