Tell me I’m special, tell me I’m beautiful
Tell me I’m a little angel, the sweetheart of your town
Say what I’m dying to hear
‘Cause I’m dying to hear from you
Tell me I’m that new, tell me I’m relevant
Tell me I have a big heart
Then prove it with evidence
I need this and I don’t know why
So late at night
Isn’t it lonely?
I would do anything to make you want me
I would give up everything if you told me that I would be
The number one girl in your eyes
Your one true
So what does it take for you to want me?
I would give up everything if you told me that I would be
The number one girl in your eyes
Tell me my future will be in really big places
That falls from the sky, so friendly
And even in all these phases, say you accept me
Well that’s all I’m dying to hear
Yes, I’m dying to hear from you
Tell me you need me, tell me I’m loved
Tell me that I’m worth it and that I’m enough
I need this and I don’t know why
So late at night
Isn’t it lonely?
I would do anything to make you want me
I would give up everything if you told me that I would be
The number one girl in your eyes
Your one true
So what does it take for you to want me?
I would give up everything if you told me that I would be
The number one girl in your eyes
The girl that’s in your eyes
The girl that’s in your eyes
Tell me I’m the number one girl
I’m the number one girl in your eyes
The girl that’s in your eyes
The girl that’s in your eyes
Tell me I’m the number one girl
I’m the number one girl in your eyes
Well, isn’t it lonely?
I would do anything to make you want me
I would give up everything if you told me that I would be
The number one girl in your eyes
Your one true
So what does it take for you to want me?
I would give up everything if you told me that I would be
The number one girl in your eyes
The number one girl in your eyes
