I can feel this feeling
Building up in my veins
The lurch in my stomach
Am I too late
To tell you how I feel?
I’m thoroughly flummoxed
By the build-up inside
Why can’t you see
That I’m just shy?
But perhaps this
Personality defect
Will kill my wish
Of you and I
(Maybe) together at last
Time ticks by and by
And the feeling grows and grows
My heartache hasn’t quit
All my… whatever it is I feel for you
Flows faster than the swiftest current
But a dam’s blocking it
You’ll never know
How much you mean to me
It’s all my fault
I guess that’s why it’s called
A crush
