  • The little things you do to me
    Are taking me over; I wanna show you
    Everything inside of me
    Like a nervous heart that is crazy beating
    My feet are stuck here against the pavement
    I wanna break free; I wanna make it
    Closer to your eyes, get your attention
    Before you pass me by

    Back up, back up; take another chance
    Don't you mess up, mess up; I don't wanna lose you
    Wake up, wake up; this ain't just a thing that you
    Give up, give up; don't you say that I'd be better off
    Better off sitting by myself and wondering
    If I'm better off, better off without you, boy

    And every time you notice me
    By holding me closely and saying sweet things
    I don't believe that it could be
    You speaking your mind and saying the real thing
    My feet have broke free and I'm leaving
    I'm not gonna stand here feeling lonely, but
    I don't regret it and I don't think it
    Was just a waste of time

    Back up, back up; take another chance
    Don't you mess up, mess up; I don't wanna lose you
    Wake up, wake up; this ain't just a thing that you
    Give up, give up; don't you say that I'd be better off
    Better off sitting by myself and wondering
    If I'm better off, better off without you, boy

    Don't just leave me hanging on
    Don't just leave me hanging on

    The little things you do to me
    Are taking me over; I wanna show you
    Everything inside of me
    Like a nervous heart that is crazy beating
    My feet are stuck here against the pavement
    I wanna break free; I wanna make it
    Closer to your eyes, get your attention
    Before you pass me by

    Don't just leave me hanging on

    Back up, back up; take another chance
    Don't you mess up, mess up; I don't wanna lose you
    Wake up, wake up; this ain't just a thing that you
    Give up, give up; don't you say that I'd be better off
    Better off sitting by myself and wondering
    If I'm better off, better off without you, boy

    Don't just leave me hanging on
