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?
'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

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?
'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
oh, would you please get out
i'm not as strong as i seem, but i won't let you know
