I get so friggin' weird around you.

I'm not the one to freeze up,

But you are the one who knows me too well.

I guess that's why I'm under your spell.

You're the life of the party.

Everyone just runs to you,

and I'm the little wallflower watching from afar.

I watch how you spark and how you love.

You know all my deepest, darkest secrets,

especially the ones I know I should keep.

Still, I let you feed my heart with all the right things to say.

Are you the one I should watch out for?

Should I keep you close?

I get so friggin' weird around you

You know I'm the girl you call your best friend and more.

You are the one I adore.

You are the life of the party.

Everyone just knows you,

but you question if they do.

Still, I let you feed my heart with all the right things to say.

Are you the one I should watch out for?

Should I keep you close?

I get so friggin' weird around you.

You know I'm not one to freeze up,

But you know me all too well,

Forever under your spell.

You're the life of the party.

Everyone just runs to you.

Everyone adores you,

But not like I do.
