"Want You Now" lyrics

How's it been in your town
With all the clones of you running 'round?
At your parties that you said
You were way too good to attend
How's my name feel on your tongue?
"A good friend from home that you love"
But we haven't spoken in months
That must be our thing?

You know I just think it's

Funny, the timing, you never saw me
Until my name was something to be proud of
You'd place me beneath pretty strangers
I'd place you above rationale
You'll be shocked to see quite a change
The girl who couldn't have you then doesn't want you now
She doesn't want you now

I recall all the times
You'd self destruct and run to me crying
Non one gets you, your dad's awful
You do what you do 'cause you're troubled
Then you tell me I'm your weakness
And hold me close where no one can see it
Until you fall right back in love
With someone you just met

So it makes a lot of sense how

Funny, the timing, you never saw me
Until my name was something to be proud of
You'd place me beneath pretty strangers
I'd place you above rationale
You'll be shocked to see quite a change
The girl who couldn't have you then doesn't want you now
She doesn't want you now

She spent years in your front row watching you look at everyone else
Had to beg for any speck of attention you would give out
You'd crumble her self esteem with each shrug of your shoulders
A nuisance to you then, but now you're so lucky to know her

Funny, the timing, you never saw me
Until my name was something to be proud of
You'd place me beneath pretty strangers
I'd place you above rationale
You'll be shocked to see quite a change
The girl who couldn't have you then doesn't want you now
She doesn't want you now

She doesn't want you
Now
