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?
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

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?
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 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 dont' 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
Deep, 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, go...

Oh, would you please get out...
I'm not as strong as I seem
But I won't let you know
It's not the ______...
Oh would you please, please, please
