Lyrics

I'm down, eastside, Thursday night
Friends, drinks, a choir recital
But Lord!, who was that passing me by?
I don't really know but I'd sure like to try
To meet you

You know it's hard to resist not to lock in a stare
At your come hither legs and your incomparable eyes
But do I have what it takes
To keep it calm, cool...not tremble or shake?

I feel a little nervous hunger inside
I feel this shyness just won't subside
I feel like dying but a smile as I say
It's a strange, strange, strange...
Strange feeling in my brain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained

It's 60/40 you won't like what you see
70/30 that you'll even look at me
80/20 that I'll brave the trip
And not stutter, stammer, slur, or slip

Chorus

You don't understand how hard it is
When you're a boy who can't forget
We live in a world of rules and lines
I won't cross yours and you can't cross mine

I'm feelin' kinda weak
I'm feelin' kinda weak
I'm feelin' kinda weak
I'm feelin' kinda...kinda...
