Back off! Why are you staring at me?! Did I ask you to stand there so awkwardly? Don't misread this—I don’t need your face… But if you're walking home… maybe keep the pace. You're loud, annoying, and way too nice You talk like you're clever but never think twice Don’t walk me home—I’m totally fine! (I mean… unless it’s dark. That street’s not mine.) I shove you hard but I miss your hand I roll my eyes, but I understand You’re such a mess—but weirdly sweet I swear, if you smile again, I might just delete— Back off! Don’t sit that close, okay?! Buzz off! You ruin my whole day! You're clingy and weird and totally dense But somehow you kinda make… a little sense Get lost! Why’s your laugh so cute?! Shut up! I didn’t ask for that tune! You’re nothing to me—so stop that grin! But… if you leave, I’ll drag you back in. You bring dumb gifts, like snacks I like I guess they’re good… for a talking mic And no, I wasn’t blushing just then My cheeks get red—again and again! I fake a yawn just to hide my smile I fake a fight to keep you awhile You're such a pain, a total fool— But when you’re gone, the world feels cruel… Back off! You’re in my thoughts all night Hands off! But… maybe hold me tight You ruin my mood and mess my day But I check my phone when you walk away No fair! You always know what to say Don’t care! But text me anyway You're the worst, and maybe that's fate But if you’re mine, then don't be late. I say “I hate you” when I mean “I might” I look away just to dodge the light But deep inside, there's something true— I wish you'd say, “I feel that too…” Back off! …Wait. Just one more sec Don’t go! That’s what I meant, heck You're dumb, you're sweet, you're way too kind But you're always the first in my mind You're mine! You pest! You lovable freak— So… hold my hand, but don’t you speak. You’re just… kind of fun to yell at, I guess… And maybe… maybe I like you. More or less. But say a word, and I’ll kick your shin! So… stay right here, or I won’t forgive you again. (…Idiot.)
