I tried to play it cool
Apathetic and aloof
Don't wanna come on too strong
Too soon
But I haven't got a clue
Bout what I'm supposed to do
Cause I only laugh this way
When I'm with you
There's gotta be some guide
Some standard protocol
On how to keep it light with you
But every now and then I
Need you in my arms
No other reason than I'm into who you are
And though I'm fine just on my own
Your laugh, your touch
It brings me home
No I don't wanna take it slow
No
I like the things you do
Like just walkin' round with you
Could be the park or we're drunk at the zoo
So I'm tired of playin' it cool
I got nothin' else to lose
I think I'm in love with you
There's gotta be some guide
Some standard protocol
On how to keep it light with you
I got no clever quips
And no more "smooth guy" lines
I can only speak the truth
That every now and then I
Need you in my arms
No other reason than I'm into who you are
And though I'm fine just on my own
Your laugh, your touch
It brings me home
No I don't wanna take it slow
Guitar solo
But every now and then I
Every now and then I
And here comes the key change
But every now and then I
Need you in my arms
No other reason than I'm into who you are
And though I'm fine just on my own
Your laugh, your touch
It brings me home
No I don't wanna take it slow
No
Every now and then
