2001
At the same time you intimidate me
Cause you don't seem to need anything
or anyone but you
Why oh why on earth is that attractive?
And why am I still writing this
When I'm so sure we're not gonna kiss?
Maybe it's that dream where you confessed your love to me
You were so uncertain, you put on a British accent so you could turn it into a joke if I said no
I was flabbergasted and I put that dream on pause
while I tried to figure out exactly what to say
But I must have woken up
before coming to a conclusion
Because I can't remember how it all worked itself out
Maybe that's why I'm still here
Although thus far none of my dreams have been preminatory
And I
Don't know why
or where or how or when
I let you crawl under my skin
But I
know that I should try
To get you out again
before it's too late
But it's so hard
I must admit you fascinate me
because you seem to appreciate me
for more than just provider of material comforts
You make me feel that I could be attractive
But why am I still writing this
when I'm so sure we're not gonna kiss?
Maybe it's that day you told me that I was pretty
You came in with the guys to where I was selling pizza
and said "Hey what are you doing today
besides looking beautiful?"
I was flattered, flustered as I said that I was busy
Being quite that charming oughta be against the law
But maybe that's why I'm still here
Amazing what flattery can do to a hungry ear
And I
Don't know why
or where or how or when
I let you crawl under my skin
But I
know that I should try
To get you out again
before it's too late
But it's so hard
And I don't want to
Fall in love with you
Feel the pain unrequitedness puts me through
Too many times before
I didn't shut that door
Don't think my heart can take it anymore
You make me think,
you make me question
I look at things diff'rently on your suggestion
Round you my brain is definitely more active
And why am I still writing this
when I'm not so sure that I want to kiss?
Maybe it's the way that I can't get you off my mind
And I
Don't know why
or where or how or when
I let you crawl under my skin
But I
know that I should try
To get you out again
before it's too late
But it's so hard
I must admit you fascinate me
At the same time you intimidate me
Cause you don't seem to need anything
or anyone but you
Why oh why on earth is that attractive?
