Nervous
Shawn Mendes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you on a Sunday in a café
And all you did was look my way
And my heart started to race
And my hands started to shake, yeah
I heard you asked about me through a friend
My adrenaline kicked in
'Cause I've been askin' 'bout you too
And now we're out here in this room

I get a little bit nervous around you
Get a little bit stressed out when I think about you
Get a little excited
Baby, when I think about you, yeah
Talk a little too much around you (I talk a little too much, yeah)
Get a little self-conscious (I get a little self-conscious)
When I think about you
Get a little excited (I get a little excited)
Baby, when I think about you
Yeah, when I think about you, babe

We walked in the rain
A couple blocks to your apartment
You told me to come inside
Caught me staring in your eyes
And I'm not usually like this
But I like what you're doing to me
Ah, what you're doing to me

I get a little bit nervous (I get a little bit nervous)
Around you
Get a little bit stressed out (I get a little bit stressed out)
When I think about you
Get a little excited (I get a little excited)
Baby, when I think about you
Yeah, when I think about you, babe (oh yeah)

Talk a little too much (I talk a little too much, yeah)
Around you
Get a little self-conscious (I get a little self-conscious)
When I think about you
Get a little excited (I get a little excited)
Baby, when I think about you
Yeah, when I think about you, babe

You got me acting like I've never done this before
I promise I'll be ready when I walk through the door
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why
Yeah yeah

I get a little bit nervous (I get a little bit nervous)
Around you
Get a little bit stressed out (I get a little bit stressed out)
When I think about you
Get a little excited (I get a little excited)
Baby, when I think about you
Yeah, when I think about you, babe (oh yeah)

Talk a little too much (I talk a little too much, yeah)
Around you
Get a little self-conscious (I get a little self-conscious)
When I think about you (I get a little self-conscious)
Get a little excited (I get a little excited)




Baby, when I think about you
Yeah, when I think about you, babe

Line by Line Meaning

I saw you on a Sunday in a café
I first spotted you on a lazy Sunday in a coffee shop


And all you did was look my way
But as you made eye contact with me, it felt like your glance was more than a passing one


And my heart started to race
That moment got my heart pumping faster


And my hands started to shake, yeah
And I felt a tremble in my hands as I tried to gather my composure


I heard you asked about me through a friend
Later, I learned that you also had an interest in me through a mutual friend


My adrenaline kicked in
That realization made my adrenaline surge


'Cause I've been askin' 'bout you too
I had been inquiring about you as well


And now we're out here in this room
And now, we're finally here, face to face


We walked in the rain
We took a walk together in the rain


A couple blocks to your apartment
And we walked a couple of streets to the location of your apartment


You told me to come inside
You invited me to come inside your place


Caught me staring in your eyes
In that intimate moment, you caught me staring deeply into your eyes


And I'm not usually like this
I don't usually feel so strongly about someone so early on


But I like what you're doing to me
But I can't deny that I really like what you are doing to me emotionally


You got me acting like I've never done this before
You're making me feel as though I'm experiencing these emotions for the first time


I promise I'll be ready when I walk through the door
I promise to be ready for whatever may come as I walk through that metaphorical door of a new relationship


And I don't know why
But I can't quite explain why I'm feeling this way


Talk a little too much (I talk a little too much, yeah)
I find myself talking excessively when I'm around you


Get a little self-conscious (I get a little self-conscious)
I become a bit more self-aware and possibly insecure when thinking about my actions around you

Many modern time singers promote lusting and fornications through their music.
This soul, named MJ knew what message send out with his music as he sing these songs:
- i`ll be there
- Earth Song
- They don`t care about us
- Ben
- Heal the world
- This is it
- Black or white
- Childhood
- man in the mirror
- Music and me

Was he out from the list of having fornication and lusting songs? - no. With the Jackson 5, he had songs like:
- i want you back
- whose loving you
- got to be there
- sugar daddy (Was it okay for a Child (Children) to sing these songs? - NO. But the 5 Jacksons were only money makers to their family and to the music industry.)

Later, in his adulthood,
- Billie Jean
- Human Nature
- blood on the dance floor
- Dangerous
- in the closet
- one more chance
- dirty Diana

And the darkest of the songs was:
- THRILLER


In the race to rich and fame, morals must go. As we now often see in todays popstars and in their music.
