Written by Olivia Rodrigo
D Kissing in the car Bm7 We come out after dark Finger interlaced under the checkered D Tablecloth D I put your jacket on Bm7 You make me take it off You'd rather i be cold than ever dare to D Show me off Bm7 Keep your head down as you walk down the road D Bm7 And say "i love you" just in whispersPre-Chorus
D C#/D But i don't wanna be your dirty secret Bm A I don't wanna be your love affair G I don't wanna be your favorite person Gm A Only when no one is there D D/C# And i don't wanna be your sweet escape Bm7 A And i don't wanna say w're best friends G Gm I don't wanna b your lover undercover G When you see me at a party A And we're strangers againD C#/D Bm7 A Ah, ah, ah (and we're strangers again) G Gm A Ah, ah, ah (lover undercover and we're Strangers again)Post-Chorus
D Tell me is it me? Bm7 Do you not wanna be seen With somebody who's young and D Unassuming as me? Or are you being strange Bm7 So other girls my age Will hit you up and give you the attention D You crave? Bm7 I'm tired of meeting you at the back door D Bm7 I don't wanna say "i love you" in whispers anymorePre-Chorus
D C#/D But i don't wanna be your dirty secret Bm A I don't wanna be your love affair G I don't wanna be your favorite person Gm A Only when no one is there D D/C# And i don't wanna be your sweet escape Bm7 A And i don't wanna say w're best friends G Gm I don't wanna b your lover undercover G When you see me at a party A And we're strangers againD C#/D Bm7 A Ah, ah, ah (and we're strangers again) G Gm A Ah, ah, ah (lover undercover and we're Strangers again)Post-Chorus
D C#/D What is it that makes you do this? Bm7 A Thinking that if i were different G Gm You'd kiss my cheek in public Gm Maybe i'm a secret you can't keepBridge:
