[Intro – Sparkling organ + handclaps] (Oh-oh, my heart goes boom!) When our eyes meet… it’s like a love cartoon [Verse 1] School bell’s ringing, time to go But I slow down, just to say “hello” You walk by with that easy smile I try to play cool, but it’s wild! [Pre-Chorus – Doo-wop backing “Shoo-bee-doo”] There’s no rulebook for a crush like this My diary don’t know what to wish You didn’t catch me staring… right? (Oh no… maybe just a little bit!) [Chorus – Girl group harmony and tambourine] I can’t say “I love you,” but my heart won’t lie Every laugh you give, I nearly touch the sky Just one little word, but I can’t find the way I pray for courage every day Dear love, please don’t pass me by! [Verse 2] Checking my phone like it’s my fate One new message—couldn’t wait Your name pops up, I almost sing You smile from a screen—what a thing! [Pre-Chorus – Soft backing vocals] My girlfriends don’t know, it’s secret still But even in dreams, you make me feel Would you laugh if I confessed? (Nah… never could say it yet!) [Chorus – Full band and clapping chorus] I can’t say “I love you,” again I shy away Every time you’re near, my words go astray But I’ll keep wishing on the stars above Til I find the strength to speak my love This little heart is on its way! [Bridge – Whispered falsetto with reverb] My heart goes ba-da-boom, can’t slow it down Maybe this is love… for real this time Should I take one tiny step… tonight? [Final Chorus – Glorious harmony, big finish] If I say “I love you,” will the world shine bright? Even the sky would blush in the morning light I may be small, but hear me sing I’ll give my heart with everything To you—yes you—I’ll finally say “I love you!” [Outro – Doo-wop fadeout with echo] (Shoo-bee-doo… I love you…) (Please hear me… I really do…) [End]
