I didn't know how to ask un-awkwardly
I didn't know how to approach it
I haven't known how to do this informally
Not cut out for dropping masks

I guess I give, and you give back
Is that right?
Guess I listen and you feedback
Is that right
I guess I call when I need help
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?

I haven't worn my heart on sleeves and been rewarded
With an open-heartedness
I haven't felt I had the right to be supported
With a golden tenderness

I guess I give, and you give back
Is that right?
Guess I listen and you feedback
Is that right
I guess I call when I need help
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?

Can I lean on your shoulder?
Will you join me in some pact?
Will you see me as your sister?
Can we love enough to offer that?
I guess I thought that you would laugh and be daunted
And think me clingy and too much
I thought this much too vulnerable, and you'd not cut
Me slack
And think me intolerable

I guess I give, and you give back
Is that right?
Guess I listen and you feedback
Is that right
I guess I call when I need help
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
I guess I give, and you give back
Is that right?
Guess I listen and you feedback
Is that right
I guess I call when I need help
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
