Not Tonight Lyrics by Elle Varner

Perfectly Imperfect

0

[Verse 1]
I'm staring at him
But I forget to pick my face up off the floor, ooooh
We're in a crowd, but it feels like we're alone, ooooh
Oh my god he just looked at me
And I just wanna tell him something that he's never heard, oooh
But my lips won't let me tell him, tell him
I would say this
[Hook 1]
But maybe, maybe in another life
I could be the girl who walks up to the guy
And tells him, tells him how she feels inside
But, not tonight, no not tonight
[Verse 2]
What if he walks towards me
While all the blood is rushing right to my brain
What am I gonna say, what am I gonna say
I may stop breathing and freeze cuz
That's the story of my life
Wouldn't it be crazy
If he felt, how I felt, overwhelmed and terrified
But he took my hand
And he took his chance, can I have this dance
If only we were in a Cinderella story
[Hook 1]
Maybe, maybe in another life
I could be the girl who walks up to the guy
And tells him, tells him how she feels inside
But not tonight, tonight
[Verse 3]
Who would I be
To make my feelings known
I need a little audacity but it's not in my bones
I'm standing here, terrified
Broken hearted, I could die, ooooohh
I'm staring at him
But I forget to pick my face up off the floor
I feel like a fool
And even though I do
I only wanna tell him that I love him more, more
[Hook 2]
Maybe, maybe in another life
I would be the girl who walks up to the guy
And say hey my name is Elle
And I think you're kinda fly
But not tonight, not tonight, tonight
[Hook 1]
Maybe, maybe in another life
I would be the girl who walks up to the guy
And tells him, tells him how she feels inside
But not tonight, not tonight
Maybe
Maybe, maybe
