Lyrics
Verse 1: Sometimes I feel you're using me
I wish you'd refrain from those activities
If only you could be somebody else
I wouldn't feel a fool who's on the top shelf
Verse 2: I could always buy more time
But what's the point when you're not my kind
To tell the truth I couldn't give a damn
If you swore you hadn't held another's hand
Chorus: If I was somebody really special
You wouldn't treat me quite like you do
If I was somebody really special
Would you treat me like I treat you
Verse 3: Stand back and take a look at me now
Tell me what you'd like to change and how
Have I measured up to your ideas
Funny how you could never make me feel real
Chorus:
Bridge: And what if you saw me running up that hill
would you call up to me
or would you just stand there ignoring me still
Chorus:
Refrain: Would you treat me like I treat you
Would you treat me like I treat you
