In my hood

There's a boy

Making girls breathless

Serving tea down on 39th street



And today

Even though

It may seem hopeless

I’ll go down on my stumbling feet

And ask him out - oh yeah



And if tonight

Turns into this "perfect tonight"

Then have a little mercy on my soul



And if the moon

Just lights up his devilish smile

It's gonna take a lot of manners to stop me from this:

Steal his precious first-date kiss



I'm so ashamed

I am weak

What a big failure

Couldn't speak, couldn't feel my own tongue



I’m such a fool

What can I say?

But today - trust me!

I will do a little better this time

And ask him out again



And if tonight

Turns into this "perfect tonight"

Then have a little mercy on my soul



And if the moon

Just lights up his devilish smile

It's gonna take a lot of manners to stop me from this:

Steal his precious first can-only-give-it-to-someone-special kiss



And if tonight

Turns into this “perfect tonight”

Then have a little mercy on my soul



And if the moon

Just lights up his devilish smile

It's gonna take a lot of manners to stop me from this:

Steal his precious first-date kiss



In my hood

There's a boy

Making girls breathless
