I feel stupid giggling about you
Trying so hard not to stare
When you walk by I swoon
Just like a tween

You’re so cocky
And obnoxious
And wild
I can’t stand that about you

Because I can barely stand
When you talk to me
When you tell your stupid jokes
I laugh, not because you’re funny
But because your smile
And deep voice make me nervous

I try and play it cool
Like I’m the baddest chick
Like you’ll never have me
Like I’d never give in to you
But the truth is
I’m all bent out of shape over you
