Pepto-Bismol won't cure this stomach ache

I wonder if you notice the excitement in my voice.
I wonder if you could possibly know the feeling I have.
My stomach's doing flips and somersaults.
The flutter of the butterflies are bouncing around my tummy.
My lips quiver and my eyes blink, but I try so hard.

I try so hard hide the beating of my heart
As it kicks and punches and tries to jump out my chest.
I give away my excitement as my words jumble together.
I'm a nervous wreck searching for the right words to say

Don't sound dumb, don't sound dumb, don't sound dumb
Repeating it to myself doesn't work as I mumble out sentences.
She's leaving, I hate it. Wishing we could just touch
Maybe I could hug her, maybe our hands will brush lightly
as we walk, or maybe our shoulders will bump up against each other.

Whenever we're together, whenever I see you, my body doesn't know how to act.
