lyrics

Here you come again and I get lost for words
Baby, I got so much to say
Ask me what I’m drinking, I lose my nerve
Leave your tip, now you’re walking away

Rattle through my head like thunder
Every time you come on my scene
I just wanna give you my number
I wanna get in touch, if you know what I mean

Maybe it’s the way ay ay that you look at me
Maybe it’s the way that you don’t
I can feel my tongue untying, I know what to say
When I’m too late
And you’re the one who gets away

I could be your lover, I could be your friend
I could be your ride home tonight
I would do it better than you ever had
If I could only conversate this right

Ooh, you make me so nervous
Under the spotlight without a line
Play me if you think I deserve this
And I’ll be your fool, baby every time

Maybe it’s the way ay ay that you look at me
Maybe it’s the way that you don’t
I can feel my tongue untying, I know what to say
When I’m too late
And you’re the one who gets away

It’s gonna hit me when I get back home
And I’ll write it down, write it down
It’s perfect, but it don’t mean a thing
I forget my name when you come around
Don’t stop coming around
Don’t stop

Maybe it’s the way ay ay that you look at me
Maybe it’s the way that you don’t
I can feel my tongue untying, I know what to say
When I’m too late
And you’re the one who gets away
You’re the one who gets away
You’re the one who gets away
