I was walking down the street
I saw her and she saw me
I thought to myself maybe I should smile
She smiled back at me and it felt like
I didn't waste no more time I knew what I wanted to say
But funny how when I went to speak my tongue got in the way it strangled up my throat and tightened all my nerves
And I couldn't speak a damn word a damn word
Damn you ladies you make me feel like I don't know how to be myself
It drives me crazy when I feel that IM only coming through as someone else
Damn you ladies you make me feel like I don't know how to be myself
I was getting on my feet
I was prone to injury
I'd fallen to the ground metaphorically speaking
But she could be the pun to pick me up from what I'm feeling
I didn't waste no more time I knew what I wanted to do
But funny how when I went to her my thoughts all turned into Pooh
They trickled down my back and made me cause a scene
And I couldn't think of a damn thing a damn thing
Damn you ladies you make me feel like I don't know how to be myself
It drives me crazy when I feel that IM only coming through as someone else
Damn you ladies you make me feel like I don't know how to be myself
I feel pretty comfortable inside my own skin
I feel that I know myself without being overconfident
Of course I've had my trial and errors
But who's to say that they know me like I know myself
I go through these motions to build confidence
I stop overthinking and start taking steps
And as I get closer my thoughts start to fade
So I just walk past her hello is all I can say
Damn you ladies you make me feel like I don't know how to be myself
It drives me crazy when I feel that IM only coming through as someone else
Damn you ladies you make me feel like I don't know how to be myself
