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
