you must be from some other part of this world
you don't seem to understand the effect that you have
you are capable of having purely platonic relationships
I'm not sure I am

you have no side to you at all
no motives other than you're still new here and you like me
and just because you're beautiful does that mean that I should ignore you
well I'm not sure I can, no I'm not sure I can

shouldn't write me notes
or laugh at all my jokes
shouldn't ring me up
but you mustn't go away
oh you really cannot stay

you might be from some distant star
where people like you don't realise how wonderful they are
but here, men are thieves, we're all hiding inside
looking out so you don't see what's in our hearts
and you don't see what's in mine

shouldn't write me notes
or laugh at all my jokes
shouldn't ring me up
but you mustn't go away
oh you really cannot stay

please don't talk to me
but don't ignore me
shouldn't be so perfect
I don't want to go away
though I really cannot stay
you might be from some distant star
