Lyrics

About a Girl (Acoustic Version)

One song about a girl

I can't breathe when I'm around her

I'll wait here everyday

In case she'll scratch the surface

She'll never notice

I'm not in love

This is not my heart

I'm not gonna waste these words

About a girl

Last night, I knew what to say

But you weren't there to hear it

These lines, so well rehearsed

Tongue tied and over-loaded

You never notice

I'm not in love

This is not my heart

I'm not gonna waste these words

About a girl

I'm not in love

This is not your song

I'm not gonna waste these words

About a girl

To be loved, to be loved

What more could you ask for?

To be loved, to be loved

Everyone wants

To be loved, to be loved

What more could you ask for?

To be loved, to be loved

Everyone, I'm not in love

This is not my heart

I'm not gonna waste these words

I'm not in love

This is not my heart

I'm not gonna waste these words

About a girl

I'm not in love

(To be loved, to be loved, what more could you ask for?)

This is not your song

(To be loved, to be loved, everyone wants)

I'm not gonna waste these words

(To be loved, to be loved)

About a girl
