Do I tell him?
Uncertainty spilling over the brim
Of my rapidly beating heart
I'm so nervous, this mustn't be a good start
He's standing right over there
I can't help but stare
He looks over catches my eye
As he walks over, I suddenly become shy
Me, the girl who's not afraid to show who she is
Our eyes meet and I get lost in his
How can I say it?
Say something I wouldn't dare to admit,
That I like this weird guy
On my brain I now can't rely
Him being so near
Brings up a new-found fear
That I will do something stupid
I must have been struck by an arrow of Cupid
He smiles and my legs go weak
I seem to have lost the ability to speak
Does he know how I feel?
This doesn't seem real
My mouth has gone too dry
Things seem to have gone awry
I close my eyes and count to three
Maybe now he might see
That I've liked him for so very long
I hope he sees something and isn't wrong
I give up, I can't say it
Maybe some other time I can admit
