Verse 1
oh these little rejections how add up quickly
one small sideways look and feel so ungood
somewhere along the way
I think I gave you the power to make me feel
the way I thought only my father could
oh these little rejections how they seems so real to me
one forgotten birthday I'm all but cooked
how these little abandonments
seem to sting so easily
I'm 13 again am I 13 for good ?
Chorus
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
so unloved for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
so ignorant for someone of sound mind

Verse 2
oh these little protections how they fail to serve me
one forgotten phone call and I'm deflacted
oh these little defenses how they fail comfort me
your hand pulling away and I'm devastated
Chorus
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
so unloved for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
so ignorant for someone of sound mind
Interlude
when will I stop leaving baby?
when will I stop deserting baby?
when will I start staying with myself?

back to main riff
Verse 3
oh these little protections how they keep springing from me
I jump my ship as I take it personally
oh these little rejections how they disappear quickly
the moment I decide not to abandon me
Chorus (twice)
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
so unloved for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
so ignorant for someone of sound mind
