Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do I imagine it?
Or do I see your stare?
Is there still longing there?
Oh, I hate myself
And I feel crazy
Such a classic tale
[Verse 2]
Current girlfriend
Ex-girlfriend
I'm trying to be cool
Am I being paranoid?
Am I seeing things?
Am I just insecure?
[PreChorus]
I want to believe
It's just you and me
Sometimes, it feels like there's three
Of us in here, baby
[Chorus]
So I, I wait for you to call
And I try to act natural
Have you been thinking 'bout her or 'bout me?
And while I wait, I put on my perfume
Yeah, I want it all over you
I'm gonna mark my territory
[Verse 3]
I'll never tell, tell on myself
But I hope she smells my perfume
I'll never tell, tell on myself
But I hope she smells my perfume
I hide it well, hope you can't tell
But I hope she smells my perfume
I hide it well, hope you can't tell
But I hope she smells my perfume
[Verse 4]
I wanna fill the room
When she's in it with you
Please don't forget me
Do I imagine it?
Or catch these moments?
I know you've got history
But I'm your girlfriend, now I'm your girlfriend
Trying to be cool
I hope I'm paranoid, that I'm just seeing things
That I'm just insecure
[PreChorus]
I want to believe
It's just you and me
Sometimes it feels like there's three
Of us in here, baby
[Chorus]
So I, I wait for you to call
And I try to act natural
Have you been thinking 'bout her or 'bout me?
And while I wait, I put on my perfume
Yeah, I want it all over you
I'm gonna mark my territory
[Chorus]
So I, I wait for you to call
And I try to act natural
Have you been thinking 'bout her or 'bout me?
And while I wait, I put on my perfume
Yeah, I want it all over you
I'm gonna mark my territory
[Outro]
I'll never tell, tell on myself, but I hope she smells my perfume
I'll never tell, tell on myself, but I hope she smells my perfume
I hide it well, hope you can't tell, but I hope she smells my perfume
I hide it well, hope you can't tell, but I hope she smells my perfume
