Ay ay ay ay ay

Ay ay ay ay ay

[plot twist]

Look at my expression in the mirror

Feeling so good, the D-day I've been waiting for

Gotta wave my hand just like I practiced

Check my hairstyle and turn around

My feet take me along the familiar path

A perfect plan

Can't wait to talk to you, hey

Woo- count to three in front of your door, yeh

(Three, two, one)

(Three, two, one) [-To Do List- Say hi first / Strike up a conversation / Awesome first impression]

First encounters are always so hard

Cause nothing goes to plan

Cause nothing goes to plan [-To Do List- Say hi first / Strike up a conversation / Awesome first impression]

First encounters are always so hard

My name is

Hey,

Hello, when I strike up a conversation

All background noise gets canceled

Your voice is my playlist

Yeh,

My question is my courage, tell me

"What's your name?"

There's three steps between you and me, yeh [-To Do List- Say hi first / Strike up a conversation / Awesome first impression]

There's three steps between you and me, yeh

(Three, two, one)

First encounters are always so hard

Cause nothing goes to plan

First encounters are always so hard

My name is

[-To Do List- Say hi first / Strike up a conversation / Awesome first impression]

This moment, feels so wonderful

We may act a little stiff

Down to our awkward greeting

Our first encounter, you and I

This thing between us, beautiful

Tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow

Remember, forever, this dazzling moment

Wait wait!

Na na na-

It was wonderful to see you like this

See you tomorrow, bye
