Check me out

I'm losing control

I wanna rock and roll

But everything I planned just slipped right through my hands

I don't know why

Hey I'm a nice guy

I wanna take it easy baby

But every time I start, my world falls apart

Yeah I don't know why

The world is feelin' like it's passin' me by

I'm fixin' to lose it

But I don't know why

Check me in

I wanna be your friend

I wanna be your lover, darling

But everything I say comes out the wrong way

I don't know why

So I guess I'll let it slide by

I wanna take it slowly, honey

I'm feelin' like a fake, every move I make

Yeah I don't know why

The world is feelin'

(Don't know why)

Like it's passin' me by

(Don't know why)

I'm fixin' to lose it

But I don't know why

Again and again and again and again I try

I'm fixin' to lose it

And I don't know

I don't know

I don't know why

Everything I planned just slipped right through my hands

Yeah I don't know why

The world is feelin'

(Don't know why)

Like it's passin' me by

(Don't know why)

I'm fixin' to lose it

And I don't know why

The world is feelin'

(Don't know why)

Like it's passin' me by!

(Don't know why)

I'm fixin' to lose it

And I don't know why

Hey sugar

I'm fixin' to lose it

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know why
