It's The Thought That Counts

Words and Music by
Gwynn Torres and Sid Berger

VERSE:
He tries to hurt you though you barely know his name.
You know he's teasing but it hurts you just the same.
Everywhere you go it seems he happens to be there.
Every time you look around you think you see him stare.

He's such a different guy with all his friends around.
Always making fun of you, trying to put you down.
You try to laugh along, try to walk away.
But it just goes on and on, day after day.

CHORUS:
It's the thought that counts.
Not the way he acts
It's the thought that counts.
Look at all the facts
Is it coincidence he's everywhere you go?
Could it be he likes you and he's putting on a show?
It's the thought that counts.
It's the thought that counts.

VERSE:
You like the way he looks when you catch his smile,
You swear he's not your type but maybe that's denial.
He's such a bad boy till you look into his eyes.
I think you're seeing something special deep inside.

CHORUS:
It's the thought that counts.
Not the way he acts
It's the thought that counts.
Look at all the facts
Is it coincidence he's everywhere you go?
Could it be he likes you and he's putting on a show?
It's the thought that counts.
It's the thought that counts.

BRIDGE:
How about those rumors that maybe he's just shy,
And all those girls who say he's not that kind of guy,
It's seeming more and more that things aren't what they seem.
You better ask your heart what you should believe.

CHORUS:
It's the thought that counts.
Not the way he acts
It's the thought that counts.
Look at all the facts.
It's no coincidence he's everywhere you go,
Could it be he likes you and he's putting on a show?
It's the thought that counts.
It's the thought that counts.

VERSE:
He's acting mean to you, but something doesn't fit.
I get the feeling that you hope he doesn't quit.

CHORUS:
It's the thought that counts.
Not the way he acts
It's the thought that counts.
Look at all the facts
Is it coincidence he's everywhere you go?
Could it be he likes you and he's putting on a show?
It's the thought that counts.
