Don't Assume I Like You
Just because I'm civil and tend to treat you well
don't assume I like you or think of you as swell
Just because I'm earnest and tend to treat you fair
don't assume I like you or think of you as rare
Just because I'm decent and tend to treat you nice
don't assume I like you or think of you as spice
Just because I'm proper and tend to treat you right
don't assume I like you or think of you as bright
Just because I'm candid and tend to treat you true
don't assume I like you or think of you as coup
Just because I'm gentle and tend to treat you good
don't assume I like you or think of you as food
Just because I'm pleasant and tend to treat you fine
don't assume I like you or think of you as mine
