when i look at you
all i can see is all the work i'll have to do
to even half-assedly try
i'm much too insecure to deal with this uncertainty
so i will have to be a man and set you free

i can't deal with it
not knowing exactly how you feel every minute of the day
are you going my way?
i'll go around
see you in my dreams

when i talk to you it feels like work
it's almost all that i can do
to even look into your eyes
i'm much too smart for you and you are much too pretty for me
so i will have to be a man and set you free

i can't deal with it
not knowing exactly how you feel every second of the day
are you going my way?
i'll go around
see you in my dreams

the memory will eventually move me to action
on something on which the sentiment doesn't apply
i'll anxiously await the right reaction
so anxiously so as not to let the time pass by

now tell me do you really want to be with me completely?
i didn't think so, pretty baby
it's not our time

when i think of you
i just feel guilty for the work you'd have to do
to stand here by my side
i'm much too immature to take responsibility
so i will have to be a man and set you free
