Song Lyrics

I was sitting in class

Just waiting for the bell to ring

And then you came walking 

with your friends

And I think I forgot to breathe

Yeah and it happened so fast

I was staring when you looked 

back at me


And when you came over 

to talk to me

I tried but I couldnt speak

Oh maybe I should i tell ya

But every single time

I get butterflies up in my stomach

When I look at you I feel a rush

I cant help it

Dont know what to do

I wanna come

Out of my shell

Walk right up you

But you give me butterflies


When I see you walk past

My heart skips a beat and i know

That you must be one special guy

Because most of the time

I don't roll the dice for anyone


Oh maybe I should tell ya but 

every single time

I wish you didn't make it hard 

to control my smile


I get butterflies up in my stomach

When I look at you I feel a rush

I cant help it, Dont know what to do

I wanna come out of my shell

Walk right up to you

But I get butterflies all 

through my body

I might fly away

I tell myself I can fight it

But one look at your face

I wanna come out of my shell 

walk right up to you

But you give me butterflies


Oh you give me butterflies

Ohhh

You give me butterflies

Butterflies

About the song

I co-wrote this song with Jason Mater about one of the very first crushes. I was only about 12 or 13 when I wrote it, and this was my first time ever in a recording studio, and recorded my first song. I also had expert session musicians who came to the studio and we did it together. This is a fun, lighthearted song that resonates with that feeling every girl has -- having a crush at a young age.
