Current song lyrics

She was sixteen and six feet tall In a crowd of teenagers comin´ out of the zoo She stumbled started to slip and fall Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes I happened to catch her and said, "maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you" Maybe for you, now But not as shaky as I must have seemed Talkin´ junk through her giggle, little teenage dream And on the phone I could not compete My dumb-love fake competence was getting weak For a sec´ I thought I sounded sweet But sure ´nough in a gruff, faint voice I heard myself speak [Chorus:] I could stay a while But sooner or later I´ll break your smile And I can tell a joke But one of these days I´m bound to choke And we could share a kiss But I feel like I can´t go through with this And I bet we could build a home But I know the right thing for me to do Is to leave you alone Leave you alone, now I´m beginning to like you So you probably won´t get what I´m going to do I´m walkin´ away from you It probably don´t make much sense to you But I´m trying to save you From all of the things that I´ll probably say or do I´ll probably do [Chorus:] I could stay a while But sooner or later I´ll break your smile And I can tell a joke But one of these days I´m bound to choke And we might share a kiss But I feel like a can´t go through with this And I bet we could build a home But I know the right thing for me to do Is to leave you alone Leave you alone, now You´ll probably call me a fool And say I´m doin´ exactly what a coward would do And I´m beginning to like you What a shame it´s a lame way to live But what can I do? I hope you appreciate what I do I´m a martyr for my love for you A martyr for my love for you, now A martyr for my love for you A martyr for my love for you
