[Intro] "You idiot!" "Are you seriously that blind!?" "I've been throwing myself at you and you just… you…" "I love you, stupid!" [Verse 1] He's so dense, is he really that blind? For a whole year I've been dropping every sign, He just smiles, stays polite and kind— It's driving me out of my mind! I'm done with waiting, done being coy, I'm marching over there to destroy His oblivious little world—I'll deploy A best friend's confession, oh boy! [Pre-Chorus] I'll show him, I'll tell him… No more games, no more maybes… [Chorus 1] Open your eyes, you idiot! Look at me the way I need you to, I've been waiting here forever— Can't you see I'm crazy about you? That I love you down to my soul? Is it 'cause I'm just a tomboy? Do I seem too much like one of the guys? Tell me what I have to do— Just look at me the way I look at you! This is my confession, A best friend's confession! [Verse 2] That moron! That dense, hopeless fool! That dress was tight, showed curves—broke every rule I set for myself, but he kept his eyes cool, Locked on mine like some gentleman duel! You idiot! Look down! I didn't dress up for fun! Why do I even care? Why can't I just run? That's it—I'm done! This ends now, I'm the one Who'll make him see what he's been missing, hon! [Pre-Chorus] I'll show him, I'll tell him… No holding back this time… [Chorus 2] Open your eyes, you idiot! Look at me the way I need you to, I've been waiting here forever— Can't you see I'm crazy about you? That I love you down to my soul? Is it 'cause I'm just a tomboy? Do I seem too much like one of the guys? Tell me what I have to do— Just look at me the way I look at you! This is my confession, A best friend's confession! [Verse 3] Beat and kicked his door 'til he finally let me in, Told him everything—every hint, every spin, The secret meanings, the longing within, Poured my heart out with tears held thin. I punched his shoulder when he stayed quiet— He's such an idiot! My stupid, sweet riot! Then finally… finally he answered me, And those words… they set me free. He told me… He told me… His best friend's confession. [Chorus 3] Open your eyes, you idiot! Look at me the way I need you to, I've been waiting here forever— Can't you see I'm crazy about you? That I love you down to my soul? Is it 'cause I'm just a tomboy? Do I seem too much like one of the guys? Tell me what I have to do— Just look at me the way I look at you! This is my confession, A best friend's confession! [Bridge] He was holding back… he wanted me too, Afraid to break what we already knew. Didn't want to assume, didn't want to presume— He was playing it safe in our little cocoon. He knew my temper, knew how I'd react When strangers stared—he kept his feelings packed. I punched him again—"You idiot! Look at me! I want you to see me that way—can't you see!?" "I love you, you fool! Say something, please!" Then he kissed me… brought me to my knees. This is his confession, A best friend's confession. [Outro] "You're still an idiot for making me wait this long…" "A moronic fool who played it way too safe…" "But… you're my idiot."
