Can't Get Up The Nerve Lyrics
Every day I see your eyes.
And you look at mine, and you don't say hi.
You smile at me as you walk away.
And I won't see you for another day.
<b>I can't get up the nerve to call you.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?</b>
Another day, and I try to smile.
I have not felt this way in quite a while.
We pass again and we both say hi.
And it feels so good when you pass me by.
<b>I can't get up the nerve to call you.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?
I can't get up the nerve to call you.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?</b>
This time around I'll flash a smile.
You know I'm more than just a child.
You tell me that your boyfriend's mad.
And so's your mom, and so's your dad.
<b>I can't get up the nerve to call you.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?
Are you...?</b>
And you look at mine, and you don't say hi.
You smile at me as you walk away.
And I won't see you for another day.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?</b>
I have not felt this way in quite a while.
We pass again and we both say hi.
And it feels so good when you pass me by.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?
But you're not waiting for me, are you?</b>
You know I'm more than just a child.
You tell me that your boyfriend's mad.
And so's your mom, and so's your dad.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?

This song is about a guy who has a huge crush on this girl. The fact that she's taken (Not to mention, way out of his league), doesn't stop him from liking her. But that all doesn't matter anyway, because he can't get up the nerve to say more than "Hi."
