Runaway Jack Stauber

[Verse 1]
You keep your distance, that's for sure
You led me to believe you're an open door
But when I reached for your handle
I learned otherwise
You handed fiction out in paperback
Eight hundred pa-a-a-a-ges
Lined from the top to the bottom with the words "come here"
And I read every last word

[Chorus]
When I'm nice, you’re disinterested (Woo-ooh)
When I’m an asshole, you're offended (Woo-ooh)
You’re a lure with no prize, a chase with no catch
You're perfect, runaway
Though I'm never gonna lock you down (Woo-ooh)
You're always gonna be around (Woo-ooh)
If I follow slow, you’ll wait up for me
You're to blame, runaway

[Verse 2]
There’s a problem with your temperature
I did my best, I tried my best to warm you down
But you froze my thermometer
Your time is a magical thing
Like this curse that you put on me
If you aren’t willing to give me yours
Why should I waste mi-ine?
That is in the "I" of the word
