I can see him blush
I think he’s got a crush
I know he’s staring at me
From the corner of my eye
I can see heads turning
I know their whispering
I watch them giggling
From the corner of my eye
Her hopes are dead
I know she cried in bed
I watch her turn red
From the corner of my eye
I pretend I don’t know
These seeds I won’t sow
I will just let it go
From the corner of my eye.
