I Turn Around

Sometimes I try so hard to resist, you say you will and I say you won't
Sometimes I think that you don't exist and sometimes you don't

Pinch me 'cause I don't believe it
Kiss me 'cause it feels like a hit
I turn around and you're not there
Why must it always be the less I see of you the more I care?

You're determined to make me as miserable as you can
You're like Harry Houdini or the Invisible Man

Count to 10 and then down again
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Doing everything they say shouldn't be done
More fun than you can have with your clothes on

Pinch me 'cause I don't believe it
Kiss me 'cause it feels like a hit
I turn around and you're not there
Why must it always be the less I see of you the more I care?

You're determined to make me as miserable as you can
You're like Harry Houdini or the Invisible Man

I turn around and you're not there
Why must it always be the less I see of you the more I care?
The less I see of you the more I care
The less I see of you the more I care
