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
