Glass one:
The future's begun over cheap wine
You're busting out all of your best lines
I don't think you're funny
But I'll squeeze out some laughter
To hold off disaster
Glass two:
Don't ask what I do in my spare time
I know you don't care about my spare time
Uncomfortable silence
Did you kick me on purpose?
You're making me nervous
You're making me nervous
Trying to get to know me from the inside out
Stop groping me with questions
Picking at my doubts
Oh my God, you're making me nervous
You're making me nervous, yeah
Glass three:
Don't get up to pee
I won't be here when you reappear
You're not special enough for the special
You ordered too much now
We're going it dutch now
And don't ask if this was a date
And please don't ask me if I would rate the experience
A budding romance
Or at least more fun than cancer
You won't like my answer
You're making me nervous
Trying to get to know me from the inside out
Stop groping me with questions
Picking at my doubts
Oh my God, you're making me nervous
You're making me nervous, yeah
You're making me nervous
Staring at me sideways with your shifty eyes
Why can't we cut our losses
Skip right to goodbyes
Oh my God, you're making me nervous
You're making me nervous, yeah
You, me
And issues for three
Now it's clear you're
The key to the lock on the door of
My 7-11
Like Woody and Previn
A match made in Heaven
You're making me nervous
You're making me nervous
You're making me nervous
You're making me nervous
You're making me nervous
Trying to get to know me from the inside out
Stop groping me with questions
Picking at my doubts
Oh my God, you're making me nervous
You're making me nervous, yeah
You're making me nervous
Staring at me sideways with your shifty eyes
Why can't we cut our losses
Skip right to goodbyes
Oh my God, you're making me nervous
You're making me nervous, yeah
