Lyrics

Nervously

A nervous boy in several ways
I never knew the world could operate this way
I was nervous when we stopped to speak
and the world came crashing around my feet

We don't talk of love
we're much too shy
but nervously we wonder when and why

A nervous boy in spite of which
I never thought I could tremble as much as this
Your flashing eyes and sudden smiles
are never quite at ease and neither am I

Oh we'll talk about it all some night
but nervously we never get it
Right from the start I approved of you
right from the moment you turned to face me

A nervous boy from another town
with a nervous laugh and a concentrated frown
I spoke too fast with watchful eyes
of a recent past and some nostalgic surprise

We don't talk of love
we're much too shy
but nervously we wonder when and smile
knowing why I approved of you
right from the moment you turned to face me
a nervous boy

From

Behaviour
