Just a feeling I had one night.
I know I shouldn’t,

but I’m sorry, I do.

I like the attention even though I don’t need it.

Or do I?

I like to feel this way, I like to feel wanted.

Even though I am.

I don’t know why I still feel like I need this but it's like a drug.

It's like I can't get enough of it.

Whenever there's someone new, I can't help it.

If I get a taste, I come back for more.

I do this with everyone.

It's not fair because everyone knows it cant be.

Everyone knows who I am and what I have.

That holds them back, but only to an extent.

There's no hiding the looks I get.

There's no hiding what they think.

I know what they think and I feed off it, live off it.

There's some who have had it and still want more, and I use that.

Theres some who have never but want to, and I use that too.

I’m a bad person for doing what I do.

I don’t know what I am but I know how to use it.

I know how to give those looks and those touches.

Just enough to keep them coming back.

I know I shouldn’t, but I still do.
