"Shmoopie" lyrics

It took you long enough
I held your hand in the summer rain
You're nervous when you talk
I can't help but feel the same
And who's to blame

Oh no, dear god, I'm doing it again
I can't believe that I could ever be like that
Do you want me to be like that? (Don't let me go)
Don't try so hard to always be around
Don't mess it up until it's gotta be that way
You want it to be that way

All the kids vying for attention
Can't sing I'll try anything
I would never let you feel like that
I fear I'd break my back
All the kids vying for attention
Can't sing I'll try anything
I would never let you feel like that
I fear I'd break my back

Everybody looks like they want my empathy
And pulling back's so hard
With you staring next to me
It's all off key

Oh no, dear god, I'm doing it again
I can't believe that I could ever be like that
Do you want me to be like that?

All the kids vying for attention
Can't sing I'll try anything
I would never let you feel like that
I fear I'd break my back
All the kids vying for attention
Can't sing I'll try anyways
I would never let you feel like that
I fear I'd break my back
All the kids vying for attention
Can't sing I'll try anyways
I would never let you feel like that
I fear I'd break my back

All the kids vying for attention
Can't sing I'll try anyways
I would never let you feel like that
I fear I'd break my back
I fear I'd break my back
I fear I'd break my back
