Well you're standing on the side of the stage

Watching me play right now

It's really kinda throwing me off

That's all I can think about

I'm wondering what we'd look like

Walking into a room side by side

Would we look like a couple that made sense?

Would we look like we fit together?

I'm losing my step

I'm tripping up over the wires

Falling all over myself

Uh-oh, you're a professional

I'm just another cock-sure boy

Strutting his stuff in a rock and roll band

Up on stage trying to impress a girl

Make her fall in love with him

Well I hope you like the way I move

Hope you like the way I sing

I'm hoping later on backstage after the show

You'll wanna talk with me

Now I'm not so naive

As to think I'm the first boy in the world

To tell you that you're beautiful

But just the same, I'm crushing hard

You're a professional

Uh-oh, you're a professional (x3)
