[Chorus]
Treat me like I'm new in town
Someone that you've never seen
A stranger in a concert crowd
A tourist on a busy street
Pretend that I'm your best friend's girl
Or a model with their own billboard
If it makes you want me more
[Verse 1]
I feel like a toothbrush or your jacket
You don't know how much you want it 'til the moment you don't have it
I feel like the rerun that you keep on (Keep on, keep on, keep on)
In the background to distract yourself from whatever may be wrong
I'm your soul by December by the fall it's overplayed (Overplayed)
And you'll fall for another just because it's not the same (Just because, ah)
[Chorus]
Treat me like I'm new in town
Someone that you've never met (You've never met)
A stranger in a concert crowd
A reader on a Hyde Park bench
Pretend that I'm your best friend's girl
The one that had your heart before
If it makes you want me more
Love me like I'm not yours
[Interlude]
Ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum
[Verse 2]
I feel like the dog you begged your mom for
As a kid you swore you'd walk it but it ended up as hers
And I'm not tryna place the blame on you
But I'm still a honeymoon
You're standing at the finish line
Not out but not all in
[Chorus]
Could you treat me like I'm new in town?
Someone that you've wanna know (You wanna know)
A stranger in a concert crowd
Or passing on a windy road
Pretend that I'm your best friend's girl
Or that I'm already out the door
If it makes you want me more
If it makes you say you're sure
That I'm the one you wanna stay with
Spend your worst and favorite day with
Looking at each other's faces 'til we're bored
Love me like I'm not yours
