Lyrics for He Doesn't Know I'm Alive

No, no No, no, no, no, no Ooh, baby I've got his picture It's on my dresser Right next to my bed He doesn't know me But I sure know him I can't get him out of my head, no (Talk to him?) No, no I haven't even tried He doesn't even know that I'm alive, no He doesn't even know that I'm alive I got his number I call him up Just to hear him say, "hello" And when he answers I always hang up Ooh that boy scares me so, whoa (Talk to him?) No, no I haven't even tried He doesn't even know that I'm alive He doesn't even know that I'm alive, no No, no, no no Someday I'll find the nerve To talk to him and stop acting so reserved I tell myself, "girl you gotta change" 'Cause nothing ventured is nothing gained, oh whoa Late last evening I dropped on by Just to see if he was home And when he opened the door I could have died There we were all alone (Talk to him?) I said, "excuse me I thought my friend lived here" Well he doesn't even know that I'm alive He doesn't even know that I'm alive He doesn't even know that I'm alive He doesn't even know (he doesn't know) Ooh I'm alive No, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no No, no, no, no Ooh, yeah No La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
