Butterflies in my stomach Scarlet hue painting my cheeks One slip up and my plan could plummet No retries, this is final, I've been thinking about this for weeks! Palms moist now with nervousness Notions in my head telling me, "This is silly, isn't it?" I'm still practicing this in the bathroom for perfectness Deep breaths, encouragement. Countless broken self promises to try and pull this off just right Doubts dispelled by the rhythm of my intense heartbeat This is the only time, definitely the only chance Parting my quivering lips, I try to say "Uhm, hey, Cindy. Do you want to go to Friday night's dance?" Denied harshly, I was, yes, however I still think about how I love Cindy to this very day.

Lost Love?
Butterflies in my stomach Scarlet hue painting my cheeks One slip up and my plan could plummet No retries, this is final, I've been thinking about this for weeks! Palms moist now with nervousness Notions in my head telling me, "This is silly, isn't it?" I'm still practicing this in the bathroom for perfectness Deep breaths, encouragement. Countless broken self promises to try and pull this off just right Doubts dispelled by the rhythm of my intense heartbeat This is the only time, definitely the only chance Parting my quivering lips, I try to say "Uhm, hey, Cindy. Do you want to go to Friday night's dance?" Denied harshly, I was, yes, however I still think about how I love Cindy to this very day.
