I find myself a fool I laugh too loudly, speak inanely I strive to seem so cool So self-possessed, I fail mainly All the hours I spend Examining my poor reflection To a childish end A simple glance in my direction But what if you should see me As the hopeless mess I am Afraid of even trying As I must confess I am Afraid of your reaction If I dare to take the chance It's the agony of asking Do you, do you want to dance? To my friends I boast If I'm no lover, may God strike me What I need the most Is just a hint that you might like me But what if you should see me As the hopeless mess I am Afraid of even trying As I must confess I am Afraid of your reaction If I dare to take the chance It's the agony of asking Do you, do you want to dance?
