Lyrics for Girl Afraid

Girl afraid Where do his intentions lay? Or does he even have any? She says, he never really looks at me I give him every opportunity In the room downstairs He sat and stared In the room downstairs He sat and stared I'll never make that mistake again I'll never make that mistake again I'll never make that mistake again Boy afraid Prudence never pays And everything she wants costs money But she doesn't even like me And I know because she said so In the room downstairs She sat and stared In the room downstairs She sat and stared I'll never make that mistake again
