[English]

My life is so boring

It's really got me snoring

And I'm wearing out the flooring in a cheap motel

But I don't have to work

And I might be sinning

But I never gonna have to hear the rings of school bells

Well, don't you remember

You told me in december

That a boy is not a man until he makes a stand

Well, I'm not a genius

But maybe you'll remember this

I never said I ever wanted to be a man

I get nervous when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

Hey

My mom is so caring

She really got me staring

At all the crazy little things she does for sure

And I can't seem to think of

Another kind of love that a boy could ever get from anyone but her

I get nervous when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around

Oh, when she comes around
