does everyone stare?
I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I’m in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late I knew you never asked for this I know My shots will always misfire My shots will always miss Does everyone stare this way at you? I only look this way at you I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you’re not at home Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I never noticed the size of my feet Until I kicked you in the shins Will you ever forgive me For the shape I’m in For the shape I’m in Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I’m gonna write you a sonnet but I don’t know where to start I’m so used to laughing at the things in my heart Last of all I’m sorry ’cos you never asked for this I can see I’m not your type and my shot will always miss Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you
