Under my skin

Under my skin

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 tounge
And deep inside I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right I'm going stay my distance
and you should go.

I'm in the dance, and it's a chance
but stay and watch a while
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 tounge
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

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.
