"Invitation" lyrics

"Invitation"

I suggested we be friends, it's stupid being cordial
Why must I invite acquaintances into my quarters?
He smells out of Hollister, he's dressed in business formal
I should've guessed by now
Boys like him, they make moves quick, they couldn't risk my shelf life
I miss setting expectations higher than my belt line
I forget what plain appreciation ever felt like
I say I'll let him out

Don't make jokes about how I'll be in bed
When did parents stop teaching respect?

I'm a pessimist, I'm so jaded
Set a boundary, he'll invade it
What is wrong with this generation?
To take "no" as an invitation

Trial two, I call him "dude", I make sure to be forward
I turn on Avengers, then he switches it to horror
Told him I don't want a lover, just a friend who's loyal
That's when it all goes south

Don't act like my words aren't what they seem
Not sorry to bruise your fragile self esteem

I'm a pessimist, I'm so jaded
Set a boundary, he'll invade it
What is wrong with this generation?
To take "no" as a "let's get naked"

Hear me clear, don't be mistaken
I'm no goal to score with patience
Bargaining provokes my hatred
My body's no invitation
So I'm a pessimist, that's what my blessing is
I expect the worst from everybody that I meet
Yeah it's sweet
But not a single boy's disproven me

I'm a pessimist, I'm so jaded
Set a boundary, he'll invade it
What is wrong with this generation?
To take no as an invitation
Invitation, invitation
Saying no's no invitation
Invitation, invitation
