Beady Belle

I fall into an unarmed ambush
Every time you cross my mind
I'm simply caught unaware when push
Comes to shove -- like I'm double-blind

My integrity slips through my fingers
And suddenly I don't know the ropes
I lose my grip when I'm put through the wringer
Like a slippery bar of soap

You make me nervous
You make me shy
I'm acting stupid
I don't know why
I lose control
I lose my mind
And all the words I try to find

I feel like a lady-in-waiting
A courtier to the great queen of fools
All my efforts at figure skating
Turns to wobbling on frozen pools

You make me nervous
You make me shy
I'm acting stupid
I don't know why
I lose control
I lose my mind
And all the words I try to find

Owing to my trembling instability
My appearance to you is a sham
All I want is, all sincerity
Just to show you who I am

You make me nervous
You make me shy
I'm acting stupid
I don't know why

You make me nervous
You make me shy
I'm acting stupid
I don't know why

I lose control
I lose my mind
And all the words I try to find
