To the boys who would tease me,
now beg to please me-
Follow me.
Dance with me.
Laugh with me.
It’s me.
The real me.
Missed me,
Missed me,
Now you have to kiss me.
Taste me.
Place me.
Like noone else could replace me.
Ring me,
Cheers me,
Here’s to you without me.
-
To the boys who would stay all night,
Then send me on my way with unrelenting pride-
Did you predetermine the time for me to go?
Did you write the script to end the show?
Little did you know,
I was the one who pulled the curtain strings closed.
The audience stood on their tippiest toes,
Applauding for me in a standing O.
