Looking At Me

Why are you looking at me?
Please just let me be,
Every time I look I see,
Your eyeballs are going over me.

I didn’t ask you to look,
You are not reading a book.
I don’t like the liberty you took,
To over analyze me with your look.

I don’t know what you expect to see,
By staring at me,
So give me back my privacy,
Nothing here to see.

If I weren’t looking at you,
I know what I would do,
I’d quit worrying too,
About you looking at me looking at you.
