A nervous boy in several ways   I never knew the world could operate this way   I was nervous when we stopped to speak   And the world came crashing around my feet      We don't talk of love   We're much too shy   But nervously we wonder   When and why      A nervous boy, in spite of which   I never thought I could tremble as much as this   Your flashing eyes and sudden smiles   Are never quite at ease and neither am I      Oh, we'll talk about it   All some night   But nervously   We never get it right      From the start I approved of you   Right from the moment you turned to face me      A nervous boy from another town   With a nervous laugh and a concentrated frown   I spoke too fast with watchful eyes   Of a recent past and some nostalgic surprise      We don't talk of love   We're much too shy   But nervously we wonder   When and smile      Knowing why I approved of you   Right from the moment you turned to face me      A nervous boy
