You Do You Don't
The Friday Night Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The first time I won't regret
One look into your eyes and I'll never forget
You're not about to jump right into this tonight

I'm wondering just what to do
Every single second in the room with you
I can't talk this over to win you over here tonight
So open your eyes, don't say goodnight
I'm wondering why alone tonight
I'll just let it go for you

I'm letting you down, you are just hiding it so well
You're giving me no sign, no interest
You don't really want this, you don't really want this right now

Are you gonna try to save yourself?
I bet you're so sick of hearing it
You don't really want this, you don't really want this now

So hard to get, is that what it's gonna be?
Sitting down, not even looking at me
I hope forever I don't remember this tonight

So out the door, gone away
Running so fast through the pouring rain
Gone forever, so much better here tonight

So open your eyes, don't say goodnight
I'm wondering why alone tonight
I'll just let it go for you

I'm letting you down, you are just hiding it so well
You're giving me no sign, no interest
You don't really want this, you don't really want this right now

Are you gonna try to save yourself?
I bet you're so sick of hearing it
You don't really want this, you don't really want this now

I'd throw it all away for you
If you took another look, you'd be back so soon
All alone, a dark cold night
Wrapped around, you better hold on tight

I'm letting you down, you are just hiding it so well
You're giving me no sign, no interest
You don't really want this, so right now

Are you gonna try to save yourself?
I bet you're so sick of hearing it
You don't really want this

I'm letting you down, you are just hiding it so well
You're giving me no sign, no interest
You don't really want this, you don't really want this right now

Are you gonna try to save yourself?




I bet you're so sick of hearing it
You don't really want this

Wowwwwww I love this song

Acey Kay

This is probably how my crush is feeling.
I like him a lot and he likes me.
But i just cant open up and all i do is looking at him, then turn away without giving any signs to him.
He even asked my friends if I'm not interested in him...

I'm sorry for everyone who has to deal with people like us
