Album: Happenstance

Under My Skin Lyrics

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 our 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 our 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 al 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

 

 Would you please get our 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, go, go

 Oh, would you please get out

 I'm not as strong as I seem, but I won't let you know
