(b)(i) it won't work right, (/i)(/b)
(u) i thought i had it all figured out. (/u)
nothing flows the way it's supposed to,
and it's all (i) so confusing. (/i)
(i) your mouth moves (/i)
like you're trying to explain something,
but all i hear from you
and see on this stupid computer screen
(u) is a bunch of gibberish. (/u)
i couldn't get your attention before,
(b) do you hear me now? (/b)
(i) can you see me trying to impress you? (/i)
(u) then do you watch me fail? (/u)
(b)(i)(u) are you sick of me yet?? (/b)(/i)(/u)
i'm trying to comprehend what you said,
trying to respond.
(b)(i)(u) do you care at all?!?! (/b)(/i)(/u)
[ can't you see
that i just want you
to notice me? ]
[ can't you do that,
even though
i'm just a less-than-average
face in your crowd? ]
maybe i should just give up
oh
that's how it works.
