[Verse 1]
Looks like I near forgot who I was
To be who you want
Yes, I've been sitting silent
Because I thought you liked me quiet

[Chorus]
But I don't wanna watch my mouth
No, I don't wanna act like I can't figure it out
I don't wanna hold you till I'm good and ready to

Oh I don't wanna be
On pins and needles
Around you
Of all people
Of all people

[Verse 2]
I can't live and know
That there are places we can't go
What are we gonna do
If we can't be true?

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna watch my mouth
No, I don't wanna act like I can't figure it out
I don't wanna hold you 'til I'm good and ready to

Oh I don't wanna be
On pins and needles
Around you
Of all people

Oh I don't wanna be
On pins and needles
Around you
Of all people
Of all people

[Verse 3]
Yes, I could try my best to
Nod and say "yes" to you
Even when my heart says "no"
Swallow my suggestions
Not ask too many questions
Hide all of my friends
Who's humor might offend you

[Chorus]
Oh I don't wanna watch my mouth
No, I don't wanna act like I can't figure it out
I don't wanna hold you till I'm good and ready to

Oh I don't wanna be
On pins and needles
Around you
Of all people
Of all people
