Check me out I'm losing control
I wanna rock and Roll
But everything I planned just slips right through my hands
And I don't know why Hey I'm a nice guy
I wanna take it easy baby
But every time I start My world falls apart
And I don't know why
The world is feeling like it's passing me by
(I don't know why) (I don't know why)
I'm fixing to lose it But I don't know why
Check me in, I wanna be your friend.
I wanna be your lover baby.
Everything I say comes out the wrong way
and I don't know why. So I guess I'll let it slide by
I wanna take it slowy honey.
I'm feeling like a fake, every move I make
And I don't know why
Again and again and again and again I try
I'm fixing to lose it and I don't know, I don't know
I don't know why
Am

I'm fixing to lose it, and I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
