lyrics

What would you do if you knew how much she feels for you?
I think you'd fall right off your chair
See how her casual smile disguises all the while
How much she's hoped to see you there
She'll say your name over and over
To feel the shapes the sounds make in her mouth
Would it be so bad - this token of her devotion
Or is she bound for the loony house

What would you do if you knew how much she feels for you?
I think you'd fall right out of space
See how her casual wave disguises what extent
She's learned to read the expressions on your face

If she could change your life in some small way - she doesn't know how
Oh you know it'd give her such a thrill
And she plans what she wears in a vain attempt to capture you
When she hears you'll be headed to someplace she's headed to

Don't let her stress you out; don't let her be a pain
She's only this persistent in her own mind
She'll keep her thoughts inside until you make your move
'Cause never would be better than a shed disguise
She won't be made the fool
Though she's long been one for you
