The little things you do to me Are taking me over; I wanna show you Everything inside of me Like a nervous heart that is crazy beating My feet are stuck here against the pavement I wanna break free; I wanna make it Closer to your eyes, get your attention Before you pass me by Back up, back up; take another chance Don't you mess up, mess up; I don't wanna lose you Wake up, wake up; this ain't just a thing that you Give up, give up; don't you say that I'd be better off Better off sitting by myself and wondering If I'm better off, better off without you, boy And every time you notice me By holding me closely and saying sweet things I don't believe that it could be You speaking your mind and saying the real thing My feet have broke free and I'm leaving I'm not gonna stand here feeling lonely, but I don't regret it and I don't think it Was just a waste of time Back up, back up; take another chance Don't you mess up, mess up; I don't wanna lose you Wake up, wake up; this ain't just a thing that you Give up, give up; don't you say that I'd be better off Better off sitting by myself and wondering If I'm better off, better off without you, boy Don't just leave me hanging on Don't just leave me hanging on The little things you do to me Are taking me over; I wanna show you Everything inside of me Like a nervous heart that is crazy beating My feet are stuck here against the pavement I wanna break free; I wanna make it Closer to your eyes, get your attention Before you pass me by Don't just leave me hanging on Back up, back up; take another chance Don't you mess up, mess up; I don't wanna lose you Wake up, wake up; this ain't just a thing that you Give up, give up; don't you say that I'd be better off Better off sitting by myself and wondering If I'm better off, better off without you, boy Don't just leave me hanging on Don't just leave me hanging on
