A nervous boy in several ways
I never knew the world could
operate this way
I was nervous when we stopped to speak
And the world came crashing around my feet

We don't talk of love
We're much too shy
But nervously
we wonder when and why

A nervous boy, in spite of which
I never thought I could tremble
as much as this
Your flashing eyes and sudden smiles
Are never quite at ease
and neither am I

Oh, we'll talk about it all
some night
But nervously we never get it right
From the start I approved of you
Right from the moment
you turned to face me

A nervous boy from another town
With a nervous laugh
and a concentrated frown
I spoke too fast with watchful eyes
Of a recent past
and some nostalgic surprise

We don't talk of love
We're much too shy
But nervously we wonder when
and smile
Knowing why I approved of you
Right from the moment
you turned to face me
A nervous boy
