i make a fool of myself

when i'm away from you

i know what to say and do

but every time you're near

my courage disappears

ah ha

the words are on my lips

when my composure slips

while you're collected and cool

i make a fool of myself

i want so much to be

the only love you see

i fall each time i try

to look good in your eyes

ah ha

don't know if i'll get through

being destroyed by you

while you're collected and cool

i make a fool of myself

hey

little girl

how could you care

little girl

you're unaware

of the love i have to share

inside me dying

oh

i'm crying

lord above please let me see

she's the life and breath of me

how my heart is breakin' when i'm sleepin'

wakin'

i keep making a fool of myself

i want so much to be

the only love you see

i fall each time i try

to look good in your eyes

ah ha

don't know if i'll get through

being destroyed by you

while you're collected and cool

i make a fool of myself

oh

little girl

how could you care

little girl

you're unaware

of the love i have to share

inside me dying

oh

i'm crying
