You Look So Fine

Type: English - Creative Response: Ten Things I Hate About You
Title: You Look So Fine
Notes: This month it's something different. Last year we studied the movie 10 Things I Hate About You in English and one of the tasks we could write the lyrics to a song a character in the movie would write to another and refer the song to events in movie. This is a song set to the tune of “You Look so Fine” by Garbage. It is in 1st person with Cameron. If put in context with the movie it is when Cameron is in the car with Bianca after Bogey’s party when he is asking her why she lied him and was really interested in Joey. Go get the song, its a beautiful song at the end of their second album and sadly my lame lyrics don't do justice to the original ones.


You look so fine

I’ll give my heart
To be taken by you
It’s making me crazy

It's so insane
I feel like Shakespeare’s my friend
I hear your voice
And I'd risk my life

You’re not like all the other girls
I’ve done things I’d never do for other girls
I’ve match-made just to see you
Yet I get thrown back

You look so fine

Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through living for you

I’ve learned French
And yet you knock me back all the time
I’ve wasted time
Getting your sister to date

You look so fine
I feel like reciting ballads
Just please leave him behind
Think of the things you told me

You’re not like all the other girls
You can take it unlike other girls
I’ve done crazy things just to see
That you’re with someone else

You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over

Please love me, I’ll be yours
Without thee, I’d be lost
Do what you want to do
Just pretend I’m different
Let me know let it show
Ending with a final note [3x]

Just pretend I’m different [4x]
