Under My Skin

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
