Since I Signed On

to "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson

Finish a class, now it's time to read
Find a desk in the library
Yeah, yeah
But I don't sign on

Pull out my books and grab a pen
Reach down in my bag again
Yeah, yeah
But I don't sign on

I pull my laptop out
Just to use courseweb
I try to cut distractions out

(chorus)
But since I signed on
I can't read past the first line
My focus is gone, yeah, yeah
Thanks to AIM
Now I chat
All day long
Since I signed on

I've got a problem, I can't stop
AIM runs whenever Windows starts up
Yeah, yeah
Then it signs on

I know that it's such a waste
But I have no self-control
I love to type that smiley face

(chorus)

In class I never listen
Till the professor calls my name
Don't know the answer, don't know the question
But my friends help me out with AIM

(chorus)

Here's the thing we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since u been gone

You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah Yeah
Since u been gone

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

(chorus)
But since u been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since u been gone

How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
Since u been gone

How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way

(chorus)

You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

(chorus)
