When you call me
When you call me pretty, I cringe
You're old enought to be my dad but when you say it, it doesn't sound the same
When you walk over to me, I instinctively take a step back
You're a stranger that I don't want to know
When you call me over, I have to answer
I can't afford to lose my job, my manager will tell me that the customer is always right
When you leave me your number, I throw it in the trash
I don't want to get to know you
When you ask me why I didn't call, I lie
I tell you that I lost it, I pretend that I'm sad
When I see you in the parking lot after my shift, I go back inside
It takes you twenty minutes to decide to leave
When you tell me you want me, I say I'm busy
I don't want to know what you would do if I said no
When you call me, I freeze
I don't know where you got my number
I don't know how to react
I don't know how to tell you that you scare me
that you're too old
too uncomfortable
too much
