I Just Wish You'd Look at Me That Way

I Just Wish You’d Look At Me That Way

I never really had a chance with you

You say hello and then I fade from view

Your attention quickly moves

To her face

I’m in bed by 10 alone

With my thoughts, the ones you’ll never know

Try to fall asleep, the only real escape

Your eyes on her are more than I can take

If I tried what difference would it make

I want you but you don’t feel the same

I just wish you’d look at me that way

There’s a fate I live and breathe

Often noticed but never seen

Our encounters always brief

Just okay

I’m an extra on the set

Not the star, the one the hero gets

Pigeon-holed into a role I’ll always play

Your eyes on her are more than I can take

If I tried what difference would it make

I want you but you don’t feel the same

I just wish you’d look at me that way

What is the reason for mutual attraction?

OK I get it, we have no control

How can there be such a one way reaction?

I still have my pride, but this gets really old

[Chorus]
