When He Sees Me Song Lyrics
I stick with real thingsUsually facts and figuresWhen information’s in its placeI minimize the guessing gameGuess what? (What?)
I don’t like guessing gamesOr when I feel thingsBefore I know the feelingsHow am I supposed to operateIf I’m just tossed around by fate?Like on an unexpected date?
With a stranger who might talk too fastOr ask me questions about myselfBefore I’ve decided thatHe can ask me questions about myselfHe might sit too closeOr call the waiter by his first nameOr eat OreosBut eat the cookie before the creamBut what scares me the mostWhat scares me the most
Is what if when he sees meWhat if he doesn’t like it?What if he runs the other way and I can’t hide from it?What happens then?If when he knows me, he’s only disappointed?What if I give myself away, to only get it given back?I couldn’t live with that (how do you live with that?)
So, I’m just fine, inside my shell-shaped mindThis way I get the best viewSo that when he sees me, I want him too
Dawn, don’t you think you’re being a little, I mean maybe just a tad
I’m not defensive!I’m simply being cautiousI can’t risk reckless datingDue to my miscalculating whyA certain suitor stands in lineI’ve seen in moviesMost made for televisionYou cannot be too carefulWhen it comes to sharing your lifeI could end up a miserable wife
Sorry girls, but he could be criminalSome sort of psychopathWho escaped from an institutionSomewhere where they don’t have girlsHe could have masterminded some way to find meHe could be color blindHow untrustworthy is that?He could be less than kindOr even worse, he could be very nice, have lovely eyesAnd make me laugh, come out of hidingWhat do I do with that?Oh, God
What if when he sees meI like him and he knows it?What if he opens up a doorAnd I can’t close it? (What if you only open up?)What happens then?If when he holds meMy heart is set in motionI’m not prepared for thatI’m scared of breaking open (what if you only open up?)But still I can’t help from hoping (in hope for love?)To find someone to talk toWho likes the way I amSomeone who when he sees meWants to again
