Nervous Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw you on a Sunday in a café
And all you did was look my way
And my heart started to race
And my hands started to shake, yeah
I heard you asked about me through a friend

My adrenaline kicked in
'Cause I've been askin' 'bout you, too
And now we're right here in this room


[Chorus]
I get a little bit nervous around you
Get a little bit stressed out when I think about you
Get a little excited
Baby, when I think about you, yeah
Talk a little too much around you
(I talk a little too much, yeah)
Get a little self-conscious when I think about you
(I get a little self-conscious)
Get a little excited
(I get a little excited)
Baby, when I think about you
Yeah, when I think about you, babe

[Verse 2]
We walked in the rain, a couple blocks to your apartment
You told me to come inside, caught me staring in your eyes
And I'm not usually like this
But I like what you're doing to me, ah, what you're doing to me
[Chorus]
I get a little bit nervous around you
(I get a little bit nervous)
Get a little bit stressed out when I think about you
(I get a little bit stressed out)
Get a little excited
(I get a little excited)
Baby, when I think about you, yeah
Yeah, when I think about you, babe (Oh yeah)
Talk a little too much around you
(I talk a little too much, yeah)
Get a little self-conscious when I think about you
(I get a little self-conscious)
Get a little excited
(I get a little excited)
Baby, when I think about you
Yeah, when I think about you, babe

[Bridge]
You got me acting like I've never done this before
I promise I'll be ready when I walk through the door
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why
Yeah

[Chorus]
I get a little bit nervous around you
(I get a little bit nervous)
Get a little bit stressed out when I think about you
(I get a little bit stressed out)
Get a little excited
(I get a little excited)
Baby, when I think about you
Yeah, when I think about you, babe
Talk a little too much around you
(I talk a little too much, baby)
Get a little self-conscious when I think about you
(I get a little self-conscious)
Get a little excited
(I get a little excited)
Baby, when I think about you
Yeah, when I think about you, babe

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
