lyrics

I see her there, sitting way across the room
Guess I'll try a casual glance or maybe two
She catches me, but I smoothly look around
Like she was just in my general view

Pretending I am reading my book
I wait it out for a little while
Then I peek and see her look, at me, then away
Could that have been a smirk or a smile

I replay that scene in my mind
Until the point of aggravation
Did she seem to be inclined
Toward repulsion or flirtation

It's time [I’m starting] to over-analyze
As I grow more impatient
What was that I saw her in her eyes
Repulsion or flirtation

One more time, I'll sneak another look at her
But if she notices again, I think she'll know
Scan to her left, and from the corner of my eye
I see her head is tilted down, I'm good to go

I gaze straight ahead at her face and then
I linger as I think for a while
Suddenly she looks up at me again
Did she give me a smirk or a smile?

[Chorus]

There she goes, she gets up and walks away
And I'm stuck here wondering what did I see
Then she stops, just before she leaves the room
Turns her heard, just a little, toward me

I'm clearly staring at her, but I’m not moving
I’m mesmerized, by her profile
She's far away, so I can't say what she is doing
Is that face a smirk or a smile?

[Chorus]
