Does Everyone Stare lyrics

I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date

I'm in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late

I knew you never asked for this

I know

My shots will always misfire

My shots will always miss

Does everyone stare this way at you?

I only look this way at you

[opera sample]

I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date

I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late

I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone

I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home

Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you

I never noticed the size of my feet

Until I kicked you in the shins

Will you ever forgive me

For the shape I'm in

For the shape I'm in

Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you

I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start

I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart

Last of all I'm sorry because you never asked for this

I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss

Does everyone stare the way I do?

I only stare this way at you
