Did you see the way she looked at me? A honey bee got two lives and she's got me I tried to love her back But then I shrunk back into my wrap And in the barrel of my gun I hope I'm not the only one Yes, I see the way she looked at me She's got an eye for an awkward guy like me I tried to love her back Then I shrunk back into my wrap And in the barrel of my gun I hope I'm not the only one And in the barrel of my gun I hope I'm not the only one I tried to love her back And then I shrunk back into my wrap And in the barrel of my gun I hope I'm not the only one And in the barrel of my gun I hope I'm not the only one I tried to love her back And then I shrunk back into my wrap and then I tried to love, I tried to love her back
