Under My Skin - Rachael Yamagata
I hesitate to say
I was bait for you
Could that be something
that you all would do
I'd be lying if I did now say
I wasn't intrigued
But timing is everything here
and for the moment
the we is reprieved
But as I watch the girl unfold
before my eyes
I discover
That I like her
Would you please
get out from under my skin
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what
my intentions are
They're speaking in a
different tongue
And deep inside
I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right
I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go

I'm in the dance and it's a chance
But stay and watch awhile
I'll be singing a tune
just for you with a smile
And maybe if I'm lucky
You'll tip your hat to me
and you'll discover
That you like her
Would you please
get out from under my skin
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what
my intentions are
They're speaking in a
different tongue
And deep inside
I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right
I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go
Crazy as it all plays out
I think I'm lonelier than
I've ever been before
'Cause I was so close
To going through that door
But I don't want to be
to blame for them
I don't want to be to blame
Oh would you please
get out from under my skin
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what
my intentions are
They're speaking in a
different tongue
And deep inside
I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right
I'm gonna stay my distance
and you should go
Oh would you please get out
I'm not as strong as I seem
but I won't let you know
