I hesitate to say I was bait for you
Could that be something that you all would do
I'd be lying if I did now say I wasn't intrigued
But timing is everything here and for the moment the "we" is reprieved
But as I watch the girl unfold before my eyes
I discover that I like her
Would you please get out from under my skin 'cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And deep inside I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know until it's right
I'm gonna stay my distance and you should go
I'm in the dance and it's a chance but stay and watch awhile
I'll be singing a tune just for you with a smile
And maybe
If I'm lucky you'll tip your hat to me
And you'll discover that you like her
Would you please get out from under my skin 'cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And deep inside I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know until it's right
I'm gonna stay my distance and you should go
Crazy as it all plays out I think I'm lonelier than I've ever been before
'Cause I was so close to going through that door
But I don't want to be to blame for them
I don't want to be to blame
Oh
Would you please get out from under my skin 'cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And deep inside I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know until it's right
I'm gonna stay my distance and you should go
Oh
Would you please get out
I'm not as strong as I seem but I won't let you know
