Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you

I walked into the room dripping in gold
Yeah dripping in gold
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Dripping in gold
A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told
Or so I've been told
My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled
Oh I cannot solve

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you

It's true I crave you
Crave You
It's true I crave you

Let's just stop and think, before I lose face
Surely I can't fall, into a game of chase
Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled
I try to reach out, but he's in his own world
This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games
I simply want him more because he looks the other way

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you

I am craving you

    General Comment:It's about a girl who likes another girl but the girl doesn't know that it's a girl because it has really short hair and neither are lesbians so it wouldn't work.

    (This is actually the true meaning.)

    Translation:Dripping in gold is British slang. To be "dripping in" something means to be wearing a lot of something. In other words, she got all dressed up in her gold jewelry and heads turned but not his.

    General Comment:I think he's GAY. He's not looking at her 'cos he's interested in boys. And the line dripping in gold...should have a comma. I came in the room dripping (she's real wet) , ...in gold.

    General Comment:Oh, I love this song and indeed, so easy to relate to.

    I wish that boy would stare back at me too, and see how much I'd do for him.
