about
Ever feel those confused emotions when you’re attracted to someone, but fearful to put yourself out there without knowing whether they are genuine and worth it? "Nervous" portrays these emotions in a song that will have you singing along just in time to meet your new summer fling.
lyrics
I've got thick skin
It makes it hard to begin
Or to let love sink in
To me
I don't mean to make things so complicated
But you're dealin' with a heart that has been jaded
Too many times
To jump in blind
And with that stare it ain't fair
And I think you know why
Cuz ooo you know you're makin' me nervous
You're diggin' deep, you scratched through my surface (hey)
Ooo you know you're makin' me nervous
But I'm still tryin' to see if you're worth it
I'm feelin' outta my league
I'm hopin' you're not a tease
Cuz what you're sayin' to me makes me nervous
I'm feelin' outta my league
I'm hopin' you're not a tease
Cuz what you're sayin' to me makes me nervous
I never learned just how to take a compliment (no)
In my mind they never could be genuine
Too rehearsed
To mean their worth
And I can't tell if it's a spell of if I'm cursed (what's worse)
Cuz ooo you know you're makin' me nervous
You're diggin' deep, you scratched through my surface (hey)
Ooo you know you're makin' me nervous
But I'm still tryin' to see if you're worth it
I'm feelin' outta my league
I'm hopin' you're not a tease
Cuz what you're sayin' to me makes me nervous
I'm feelin' outta my league
I'm hopin' you're not a tease
Cuz what you're sayin' to me makes me nervous
Ut-oh ut-oh you’re makin’ me
Ut-oh ut-oh you’re makin’ me
You’re makin’ me nervous
Ut-oh ut-oh you’re makin’ me
Ut-oh ut-oh you’re makin’ me
You’re makin’ me nervous
Can we slow down for a sec?
I need to get outta my head
My face is turnin’ all kinds of red
It’s like you stole my breath
But I can’t forget
Ooo you know you’re makin’ me nervous
Diggin’ deep you scratched through my surface
Ooo you know you’re makin’ me
You know you’re makin’ me
But I’m still tryin’ to see if you’re worth it
I'm feelin' outta my league
I'm hopin' you're not a tease
Cuz what you're sayin' to me makes me nervous
I'm feelin' outta my league
I'm hopin' you're not a tease
Cuz what you're sayin' to me makes me nervous
Ut-oh ut-oh you’re makin’ me
Ut-oh ut-oh you’re makin’ me
You’re makin’ me nervous
Ut-oh ut-oh you’re makin’ me
Ut-oh ut-oh you’re makin’ me
It makes it hard to begin
Or to let love sink in
To me
I don't mean to make things so complicated
But you're dealin' with a heart that has been jaded
Too many times
To jump in blind
And with that stare it ain't fair
And I think you know why
Cuz ooo you know you're makin' me nervous
You're diggin' deep, you scratched through my surface (hey)
Ooo you know you're makin' me nervous
