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 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?

For 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?

For I can't begin this yet

And I don't know what my intentions are

They're speaking in a different tongue

And deep 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
