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
