I have a crush on a girl I’ve never even met
it’s unlikely I ever will and yet, and yet, and yet
I’m smitten like there’s kittens in mittens in my heart
and they’re trying to claw their way out
and they’re clawing my insides apart
apart, apart, apart
they’re clawing my insides apart
She found me on Flickr, she liked some picture, I guess, some picture I took
So I added her to my myspace page, I stuck her right in my top 8
I fell in love with the comics she drew about her love, about her life
I fell in love with her lovelife, I guess, I fell in love with her love
In love, in love, in love
I fell in love with her love
Go out, go take a chance
Get the clap off some dancehall tart
I’m gonna stay safe at home
Internet girls don’t break your heart
They flirt and tease without deceiving
Go home to their men and it isn’t cheating
They tell you secrets and it isn’t wrong
because they own your heart but they’ll never belong
To you, to you, to you
They’ll never belong to you
to you, to you, to you
they’ll never belong to you
I know if she lived in this town, of this I have no doubt
She would do nothing for me, I would just weird her out
And can you crush on somebody when you’ve plumbed
the depths of their soul
When you know the secrets they keep beneath their pillows at night
Like dirty little lumps of coal
They flirt and tease without deceiving
Go home to their men and it isn’t cheating
They tell you secrets and it isn’t wrong
Because they own your heart but they’ll never belong
To you, to you, to you
They’ll never belong to you
To you, to you, to you
They’ll never belong to you
