Weak In The Knees
Eva Avila Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels like I'm back in fifth grade
Day dreaming 'bout when you ask me to come and play
But you never do, you sit so far away
You don't even notice the heart I drew around your name
I know it's crazy, I feel like a fool
'Cause every time you walk into the room, I always miss my cue

I want to know if someone turns you on at night
I want to know if it could be me
I got to know how to make you see
That you've got me weak in the knees

Feels like I never learned to speak
Every time I think to ask how was your week-end
So I never do, I just hope to be seen
But I casually cross your path
While tripping over my feet
I know it's crazy, I ain't gonna lie
But every time that you give me a sign
I always miss my line

I want to know if someone turns you on at night
I want to know if it could be me
I got to know how to make you see
That you've got me weak in the knees

Oh you don't even know it
No
There's a table for two
For me and you
Though it's so hard to show it
Oh
When I give you no clue

Every day after day
I been thinking of what I could say
To get through to you
Wish I could read your mind
So that I could find
If you're feelin' me too

I want to know if someone turns you on at night
I want to know if it could be me
I got to know how to make you see
That you've got me weak in the knees

I want to know if, oh baby
I want to know if, ooh-oh




You got me
You got me

Feels like I'm back in fifth grade
I feel like a kid again, daydreaming about playing with you


Day dreaming 'bout when you ask me to come and play
I'm fantasizing about you asking me to spend time with you


But you never do, you sit so far away
You never initiate conversation or are far away from me


You don't even notice the heart I drew around your name
You don't seem to acknowledge the affection I have for you


I know it's crazy, I feel like a fool
I'm aware that my feelings seem irrational and foolish


'Cause every time you walk into the room, I always miss my cue
I always miss my chance to talk to you or be noticed by you


I want to know if someone turns you on at night
I'm curious if there is someone you're attracted to romantically


I want to know if it could be me
I'm hopeful that I could be that person for you


I got to know how to make you see
I want to figure out how to make you aware of my interest in you


That you've got me weak in the knees
You have me feeling infatuated and vulnerable


Feels like I never learned to speak
I feel like I lack the ability to confidently communicate with you


Every time I think to ask how was your week-end
I contemplate asking how your weekend was


So I never do, I just hope to be seen
But I end up not saying anything and just hope that you'll notice me


But I casually cross your path
I attempt to coincidentally cross paths with you


While tripping over my feet
But I end up being clumsy and awkward around you instead


I know it's crazy, I ain't gonna lie
I'm still aware that my feelings may seem irrational but I can't deny them


But every time that you give me a sign
But every time I think I see a hint of interest from you


I always miss my line
I still end up not being able to communicate my feelings to you


Oh you don't even know it
You're completely unaware of my feelings for you


There's a table for two, for me and you
I dream of a romantic date with you


Though it's so hard to show it
It's extremely difficult for me to express these emotions to you


When I give you no clue
Especially when I've given no indication of my feelings towards you


Every day after day, I been thinking of what I could say
I constantly think of ways to tell you how I feel


To get through to you
To finally make you aware of my feelings


Wish I could read your mind
I wish I knew what you were thinking and feeling towards me


So that I could find
To figure out if you have any interest in me as well


If you're feelin' me too
If you're experiencing similar emotions towards me


I want to know if someone turns you on at night
I still wonder if you're interested in someone else


I want to know if it could be me
But I'm still hopeful that I could be the one for you


I got to know how to make you see
I am determined to figure out how to make you aware of my feelings


That you've got me weak in the knees
You have me completely infatuated and vulnerable


I want to know if, oh baby
I still have so many unanswered questions about your true feelings towards me


I want to know if, ooh-oh
I wish I could read your mind and know what you truly feel for me


You got me
But no matter what, I am captivated by you
