Do You See

I’m the boy that’s sitting behind you,

The one who keeps smelling your hair.

I’m the boy whose homework you copy,

Fooling myself that you care!

When we look at each other,

What do we see?

An enemy, friend or lover,

What do you see?

I’m the boy who captain’s the team,

The one the girls all talk about,

I’m the boy who you all idolise,

The one no one hears when I shout.

When we look at each other,

What do we see?

An enemy, friend or lover,

What do you see?

I’m the boy with his head in the books,

The one you laugh at and call a nerd,

I’ve been sitting here talking for hours,

But not one of you heard a word.

When we look at each other,

What do we see?

An enemy, friend or lover,

What do you see?

I’m the boy with his choice of the ladies,

If I say yes they never say no,

I’m the boy who thinks of one thing,

So they say how would they know?

When we look at each other,

What do we see?

An enemy, friend or lover,

What do you see?

I’m the boy with a criminal record,

They say I once set fire to a car,

I’m the boy you dream of at night,

And in the morning you ask yourself why?

When we look at each other,

What do we see?

An enemy, friend or lover,

What do you see?

I’m a boy just the same as you,

No matter what you think I’m like,

I’ve got feelings and I can be hurt,

I can be lonely just want to be liked.

When we look at each other,

What do we see?

An enemy, friend or lover,

What do you see?

Do you see?

ME!
