Like I'm Invisible

(album: Luther Vandross - 2001)

You talk about me as if I'm not there
You don't even whisper cuz you just don't care
I stand there and listen to my life go by
And at times I wonder why I even try

Well I try because I like to finish what I start
And I have faith it can get better tomorrow
But it won't if you keep treating me
Like I'm invisible

[1] Say that you won't treat me
The way you're treating me
Say that you won't
I see you but you just keep looking right through me
Like someone you don't even see
Like I'm invisible

You brag to your friends how much I must want ya
You said I was someone you could do with or without
You're so confident that I'd never leave you
No wonder you're surprised that I am walking out

Well, I have to leave no matter how sad it might be
Because this hurt's become my reality
And I won't let you keep on treating me
Like I'm invisible

[Repeat 1]

Well I finally got the nerve to move on
Cuz a fly kind of guy like me
Surely deserves more, much more
My new love can see what's inside of me
And she told me to thank you
For the good love that you blew, and oh

I wish you could see the way she looks at me
She don't keep me insecure or treat me lovelessly
She don't hide me from her friends when we have company
And she never ever makes me feel
Like I'm invisible

And after we lay here, she wants me to stay here
I'm not just for making love then expected to leave
I'm not only someone used for helping her ends meet
And she'd never ever walk on by me
Like I'm invisible

Like I'm invisible
