Lyrics[]

[Verse 1: Tori Kelly]
We’ve met a few times, three or four times, they all went by much too fast
Eyes were so locked, led to small talk, wanting each moment to last
I can do this, tried to focus, but it’s so hard for me to see past
Your beauty, yeah mostly, all I could get out was a laugh

[Pre-Chorus]
There are no words to say whenever you are near
I try to be myself but she just disappears
I’m nothing like those other girls, I am so weird
Cause I don’t bite my lip, or bat my eyes
When you walk by, when you walk by

[Verse 2]
You’re a star and everyone knows, maybe thats why I can never get close
I can barely remember most of what was said during our last
Conversation, overthinkin’, still so hard for me to see past
Your beauty, call me crazy but maybe you’d like get to know me, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
There are no words to say whenever you are near
I try to be myself but she just disappears
But boy I promise you will see that I’m sincere
Hope I’ll get another try
When you walk by, when you walk by

[Chorus]
I’m not very flirtatious
I’m not gonna blow kisses
I don’t bat my eyelashes
I’m not very flirtatious
I’m not gonna blow kisses
I don’t bat my
eyelashes
I have nothing to lose, so how could it go wrong
But it’s so much easier to sing it in a song

[Pre-Chorus]
There are no words to say whenever you are near
I try to be myself but she just disappears
I’m nothing like those other girls, I am so weird
Cause I don’t bite my lip, or bat my eyes
When you walk by, when you walk by

[Chorus]
I’m not very flirtatious
I’m not gonna blow kisses
I don’t bat my eyelashes
I’m not very flirtatious
I’m not gonna blow kisses
I don’t bat my eyelashes
I have nothing to lose, so how could it go wrong
But it’s so much easier to sing it in a song
