Lyrics
Why Doesn't Somebody Stop Me?
I can't believe what's coming out of my mouth
I'm talking 'bout love
And no, there's no doubt that it's me
'Cause I can see my reflection in that street corner window
Smiling and holding her hand
What am I getting into?
What am I getting into?
CHORUS
Yeah, I'm throwing my life at her feet
Man, I'm turning my world upside down
I?m diving in heart-first
Oh, why doesn't somebody stop me?
I?m diving in heart-first
Oh, why doesn't somebody stop me?
Have I forgotten
How I like my freedom
Falling in love is the last thing I'm needing right now
Oh, I like her laughter and I think she's smart
But usually my brain would know how to handle my heart
How to handle my heart
CHORUS
BRIDGE
How did I turn into this kind of fool?
What has she done to the me
Who used to be cool?
People are watching as they're walking by
I think she's smiling
And I don't know why I keep talking
I?m afraid of her answer, I feel like a madman
Two weeks ago this is not who I was
This is bad, man
This is bad, man
CHORUS
