he's just that boy from out of town
only stops here twice a year
he says your pretty and he adores you
reciting dialogue from classics he steals
but scarlet my dear, he doesnt give a damn about you

overrated boys and attention starved girls
a little curious, a little insecure
they call it love it might be premature
but they dont need excuses

shes just that girl from another town
you know her name by the letter of city and state
brown hair, blue eyes, shes about five' five
she'd never lie to you, but fidelity is no concern
when you have become this


overrated boys and attention starved girls
a little curious, a little insecure
they call it love it might be premature
but they dont need excuses
to feel used or feel lust
to feel wanted for once
to know theres somebody else
whos dying to feel anything
ready and willing

i guess now its safe to say
sincerity has become a lost art these days
and if its just to drown the tension
or maybe cool the friction
i think its time we clear the haze
or were just

overrated boys and attention starved girls
a little curious, a little insecure
we call it love it might be premature
but we dont need excuses
to feel used or feel lust
to feel wanted for once
to know theres somebody else
whos dying to feel anything
ready and willing
