My  heart is breaking and I don't know why
 She just turned  and looked me in the eye
 And my mouth hit the floor, speech went  out the door
 Guess I’m back to where I started
Just  one look and I knew it wasn’t fair
 Those big blue eyes and that  long blonde hair
 She could just stand still, and I’d  still lose my will
 To carry on without her
 So here I am, a mess  of a man
 And I don’t think I’ll  ever understand
 I’m caught up in this girl
 She could change my world
She’s  throwing glances, I’m trying not to stare
 I’d make a move,  but would she even care
 Bet she’s heard it all before, but I  can’t ignore
 That summer dress that she’s wearing
And  my friends say it’s not worth a shot
 I could lose my pride and  that’s all that I got
 Still I give it a go, I’ve  just gotta know
 If I can live without her
 So here I am, a mess  of a man
 And I don’t think I’ll  ever understand
 I’m caught up in this girl
 She could change my world
 She could change my  world
Oh  my  world
 She could change my world
 So  here I am, a mess of a man
 And I don’t think I’ll  ever understand
 I’m caught up in this girl
 She could change my world
I’ve  gotta know
I’ve  gotta know
I’ve  gotta know
 If I can live without her
 If I can live without her
