Rachael Yamagata – Under My Skin

I hesitate to say I was bait for you

Could that be something that you all would do?

I’d be lying if I did now say I wasn’t intrigued

But timing is everything here, and for the moment the “we” is reprieved

But, as I watch the girl unfold before my eyes, I discover

That I like her

Would you please get out from under my skin?

‘Cause I can’t begin this yet

And I don’t know what my intentions are

They’re speaking in a different tongue

And deep inside, I’m not as tough as I seem

But I won’t let you know

Until it’s right, I’m gonna stay my distance

And you should go

I’m in the dance, and it’s a chance

But stay and watch awhile

I’ll be singing a tune just for you with a smile

And maybe, if I’m lucky

You’ll tip your hat to me, and you’ll discover

That you like her

Would you please get out from under my skin?

‘Cause I can’t begin this yet

And I don’t know what my intentions are

They’re speaking in a different tongue

And, deep inside, I’m not as tough as I seem

But I won’t let you know

Until it’s right, I’m gonna stay my distance

And you should go

Crazy as it all plays out

I think I’m lonelier than I’ve ever been before

‘Cause I was so close

To going through that door

But I don’t want to be to blame for them

I don’t want to be to blame

Oh, would you please get out from under my skin?

‘Cause I can’t begin this yet

And I don’t know what my intentions are

They’re speaking in a different tongue

And, deep inside, I’m not as tough as I seem

But I won’t let you know

Until it’s right, I’m gonna stay my distance, and you should go

Oh, would you please get out

I’m not as strong as I seem, but I won’t let you know
