## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I screen saved all the photos from your family vacations

I checked out all your Spotify recommendations

I followed you on Twitter, and Instagram too

Is there anywhere else I can find you?

[Pre-Chorus]

Every 15 minutes, I'm refreshing your page

Refreshing your page, Refreshing your page

Every 15 minutes, I'm refreshing your page

Refreshing your page, Refreshing your page

[Chorus]

It was love at first sight, except you tried to ignore me

You were playin' hard to get

Now I want to be your girlfriend but you can't ignore me

Cause I found you on the internet

Now I always know who you're with, where you are, and what you're doing

I just wish it was me, that you were pursuing

And the funny thing is, you haven't got a clue

That I've got a crush on you

[Verse 2]

I got a notified, you posted on Facebook

Sure enough, there's a new photo on your wall

Within a few minutes, I see some blonde chick liked it

I bet that she's your late night booty call

You send out a tweet that today was a great day

But how could it be, without me there

I bet its cause your sleeping with that blonde chick on Facebook

The one with the bleached, peroxide hair

[Pre-Chorus]

Every 15 minutes, I'm refreshing your page

Refreshing your page, Refreshing your page

Every 15 minutes, I'm refreshing your page

Refreshing your page, Refreshing your page

[Chorus]

It was love at first sight, except you tried to ignore me

Tried to ignore me, tried to ignore me

So I found you online, and now you can't ignore me

You can't ignore me, you can't ignore me

Now I always know who you're with, where you are, and what you're doing

I just wish it was me, that you were pursuing

And the funny thing is, you haven't got a clue

That I've got a crush on you

[Bridge]

You'll never know the pain I feel

As I watch you from afar

I can't deny my love is real

I even know who your friends of friends of friends are

I never knew how love can hurt

Until I put on my Google Alert

Every post, every tweet

It's so hard to see that it's not about me. (Not about me)

[Chorus]

It was love at first sight, except you tried to ignore me

Tried to ignore me, tried to ignore me

So I found you online, and now you can't ignore me

You can't ignore me, you can't ignore me

Now I always know who you're with, where you are, and what you're doing

I just wish it was me, that you were pursuing

And the funny thing is, you haven't got a clue

That I've got a crush on you

[Outro]

Oh crap, you just block me from viewing your Facebook

Crap, you just blocked me from your Twitter too

You sent me an email to leave you alone

Well guess what, I still like you
