LYRICS FOR "Doth I Protest Too Much"

I'm not threatened by every pair
Of legs you watch go by
I don't cringe, when you stare at women
It's just a thing called guy

I don't notice your sideways glances
Or where your loyalty lies?
I'm secure and out of me, it's hard to get a rise

I'm not jealous, I don't get moved by much
I'm not enraged, not insecure as such
Not going insane, rational stays in touch
And doth I protest too much?

I'm not tortured by how oft you're busy
'Cause I've got things to do
I'm not disappointed, about how you don't miss me
'Cause I don't need you to

I'm not needy, I don't get clingy much
I'm not scared, I'm not afraid as such
I'm not dependent, rock solid stays in touch
And doth I protest too much?

So much energy to prove to you
Who I can't possibly be
So much energy to prove to you
I'm not who you hate for me to be

I'm not saddened and I don't miss you
'Cause I have moved on too
I'm not concerned about your new lover
'Cause I have a new lover too

I'm not depressed, I don't get down that much
I'm not despondent, I am not dark as such
I'm never sad, keep chin up, stays in touch
And doth I protest too much?

I'm not jealous, I don't get moved by much
I'm not enraged, not insecure as such
Not going insane, rational stays in touch
And doth I protest too much?
