Library Girl |
Shelving books on the night shift |
It takes some time, but I guess I like it |
Dewey’s decimals keep me company |
Out the window, you are dancing |
With those girls who can’t stop laughing |
Lip-gloss, too hot, fake-baked drama queens |
You were drinking a margarita |
I was reading My Antonia |
I got to thinking that |
I don’t fit inside that world |
And I’m not like those other girls |
Oh no, I’m not, I think a lot |
But please don’t be afraid |
Just 'cause I navigate the media |
And use encyclopedias |
It doesn’t mean that I don’t need |
A boy just like you to talk to |
Set my cup back on its saucer |
At the coffee shop, reading Chaucer |
With my iPod on my favorite track |
The girls you’re with get turtle lattes |
Decaf, skim-based, extra frothy |
But you and I both drink our coffee black |
You were talking about ACDC |
And I was playing my Puccini |
I got to thinking that |
Repeat Chorus |
You can buy me a margarita |
And I will lend you My Antonia |
You can take me to ACDC |
And I’ll play you my Puccini |
It doesn’t matter that |
I don’t fit inside that world |
I’m not like those other girls |
Oh no, I’m not, I think a lot |
But you are not afraid |
That I navigate the media |
And use encyclopedias |
It doesn’t mean that I don’t need |
A boy just like you to talk to |
