Social Butterfly

from Tui by James Constable

lyrics

Walking home all alone
Another day has passed
Sulking through the red front door
Is this a love that’s built to last
I’m sure there has to be a way to talk to her
But there’s nothing I can do

So as I lie on my bed feeling out of place
And she’s got friends around, she’s showing all her grace
She would stick with her people, I should stay with mine
It’s time I said “good night” to the social butterfly

Every day is the same
To class is where I go
I’m only here to see her face
There she is, my vision slows
I hope that I will catch her eye
And she will talk to me
But there’s nothing I can do

So as I lie on my bed feeling out of place
And she’s got friends around, she’s showing all her grace
She would stick with her people, I should stay with mine
It’s time I said “good night” to the social butterfly

There may still be a little hope
Another day will come
Although I’m leaning on the ropes
Her heart could still be won
All I have to do it ask
And that’s the troubled thing
So there’s nothing I can do

So as I lie on my bed feeling out of place
And she’s got friends around, she’s showing all her grace
She would stick with her people, I should stay with mine
It’s time I said “goodbye” to the social butterfly
