Baby Love Me Back

I look at you everyday
And all you do is smile and walk away
You don't even try to get to know me
Just know I'm as sweet as a honey bee
I've loved you since last year
And I always like it when you are near
I really want to be with you
And all the chances you give me, are a few
Why don't you want to be with me
I would do anything for you
Like cross the sea
And scrape my knee
Baby just love me back
It won't cost you anything
Maybe just a pat on the back
