Blush from The Fool by Veronica Wagner

Smile at me how you usually do
I can feel myself blush
I have a secret weakness for looking at you
Do I do it too much?
You barely know me, I barely know you
But when we make eye contact and you smile like that
I can barely stand up

Oh I gotta play it cool
Excuse my little crush
Gotta play it cool
Excuse me while I combust
Gotta play it cool
This misdirected lust
Is all I'm feeling, all I'm feeling
I can feel, I can feel myself blush

I would love for us to make friends
But every time you speak
I try to reply and don't make any sense
You must think I'm a freak
Hey, you barely know me, I barely know you
But you have literally appeared in my dreams
Three nights this week

Oh I gotta play it cool
Excuse my little crush
Gotta play it cool
Excuse me while I combust
Gotta play it cool
This misdirected lust
Is all I'm feeling, all I'm feeling
I can feel, I can feel myself blush

I crave the hot spotlight of your attention more than anything
It's like the sun can see me
I want the sun to see me
Little wonder I can feel my face heat up

When i gotta play it cool
Excuse my little crush
Gotta play it cool
Excuse me while I combust
Gotta play it cool
This misdirected lust
Is all I'm feeling, all I'm feeling
I can feel, I can feel
All I'm feeling, all I'm feeling
I can feel myself, I can feel myself blush
