How To Be Your Girl

I was just getting used to the dark
When you turned on the light.
So here I am blinking and squinting and rubbing my eyes.
And I wish I knew
What to do with you.

I'm clumsy and hugging the walls
As I stumble around.
I'm keeping my thoughts to myself
And my feet on the ground.
And my head down.

chorus:
Well, I know how to be by myself
And I know how to do without anyone else.
And I know how to find my own way in the world.
But I don't know how
To be your girl.

I'm graceless and flustered
And looking for someplace to hide.
I think it's fair to say I am not easily surprised.
But I can't see
What you see in me.

So keep me from falling
Or give me someplace to land.
I'm afraid this is a little more
Than I can stand.

chorus

I was just getting used to the dark
When you turned on the light.
