Dangerous Muse, "The Rejection"
(2005)

At two am she jumped on me
Said for five months she has loved...
"Okay, it's your turn--say the same"
I'd like to like you like you like me
But I can't--please understand
I'm not a jerk
But I am

She wept and wiped her face with one hand
Said that we can't be friends
"How could you not want me? I'm hot
Just tell me--it's okay"

Stop trying
I don't want you
You don't want to stop trying
You want me, well
I want to dance

Stop trying
You don't want to
I don't want you
Stop trying
You want me, but
I want to dance

Days do pass
Still wants to talk
Says for five months, she has loved...
Okay, you know I'm not the same
I'd like to like you like you like me
But I can't please understand
I'm not a jerk
But I am

She weeps and wipes her face with more tears
This time, with her other hand
"How could you kiss me there then just go
Leave me a sample in a song"

Stop trying--trying--trying
I don't want you
You don't want to stop trying
You want me, well
I want to dance

Stop trying
You don't want to
I don't want you
Stop trying
You want me, but
I want to dance

Stop crying
I don't want you
You don't want to stop crying
You want me, well
I want to dance

Stop crying
I don't want you
You don't want to stop crying
You want me, but
I want to dance

So just dance

Put on your boots and walk out the door
Forget the face that you watched before
(Don't love me)
It's not worth the time or worth the tears
Shut your mouth--be a dear
(I don't want you)

Put on your boots and walk out the door
Forget the face that you watched before
(Don't love me)
It's not worth the time or worth the tears
Shut your mouth--be a dear
(I don't want you)

Arms up
Just dance
Arms out
Just dance

Arms up--just dance
Arms out--just dance
Arms up--just dance
Arms out--just dance

Just dance

I won't say that I love you
I can't say that I love you

At two am she jumped on me
Said for five months she has loved...
"Okay, it's your turn--say the same"
I'd like to like you like you like me
But I can't--please understand
I'm not a jerk
But I am

So just stop


When I first encountered Dangerous Muse I thought they were a joke, because this song is SO gay (oh noes! Not girls!) and SO serious business. But no, I think they're really that fucking queer. The music video for "The Rejection" lays it on even thicker--there are electrotwinks, a bunch of gay teenagers, and a keytar. Keytar.
