The little things you do to me
Are taking me over, I wanna show ya
Everything inside of me
Oh, like a nervous heart that is crazy beatin'
My feet are stuck here against the pavement
I wanna break free, I wanna make it
Closer to your eyes and 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
Sleeping 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 am 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
Sleeping by myself and wondering
If I'm better off, better off without you, boy
Don't just leave me hangin' on
Don't just leave me hangin' on
The little things you do to me
Are taking me over, I wanna show ya
Everything inside of me
Oh, like a nervous heart that is crazy beatin'
My feet are stuck here against the pavement
I wanna break free, I wanna make it
Closer to your eyes and get your attention
Before you pass me by
Don't just leave me hangin' 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
Sleeping by myself and wondering
If I'm better off, better off without you, boy
Don't just leave me hangin' on
Don't just leave me hangin' on
(The little things, oh
The little things you do to me)
Don't just leave me hangin' on
(Driving me crazy, crazy, babe)
(You're driving me crazy)
Don't just leave me hangin' on
(The little things, oh
The little things you do to me)
