lyrics

People come and go and masquerade, put on a show, put on a face
Strangers I don't know and if I let them get too close, I'll push away

But then when you smile
I second-guess, for a while
I don't give in and I fight
I'll pretend that I don't like

You've got this look about you
It's almost like I've known you somehow
I've got this funny feeling too
I wonder if you're gonna hurt me now

People lose control, and walk away and let you go as feelings fade
(Fade away and though the feeling's strong it goes away)
The dangers of the road is to forget as I get older, it's that way
(Way too long before the pain is gone and washed away)

But then, you walk by
(I second guess)
And I second guess, one more time
I'll pretend that I don't like
(I should give in)
Should I give in? I just might

You've got this look about you
It's almost like I've known you somehow
I've got this funny feeling too
I wonder if you're gonna hurt me now

You've got this look about you
And I keep thinking maybe later on
Please say you kind of feel it too
Or maybe I've been reading signals wrong

Do you know? Is the feeling even there?
Or did I make it all feel strange?
Did you know? Are you only just aware?
Or have I scared you away?
What if I said that I wanted you to stay?

You've got this look about you
It's almost like I've known you somehow
I've got this funny feeling too
I wonder if you're gonna hurt me now

You've got this look about you
I've got this kind of déjà vu
And so I can't be next to you
I'm too afraid to let those feelings out
