Speed Dating Lyrics

Did your heart stop

When I walked in the room?

Did your ears go pop

Like a young child's balloon

Well, mine did I can tell you,

I can tell you when I saw you were coming my way

Like a small kid my mind turned to jelly

And my feet turned to clay

Oh speed dating

I can't tell you how long I've been waiting

This ain't the way I normally get my kicks

Looks like I gotta learn a whole new bag of tricks

Getting hotter

Please open the windows and let in some air

I need a doctor

Who's gonna give me intensive care

But right now I've got a minute,

One single minute and I've got to impress

Don't know how but I'm reaching the limit

I need to listen more and speak a bit less

Oh speed dating

After all the years I've been contemplating

Why do I now feel so afraid

Of the strong connection that we've made

I feel your eyes burn

It's too hard to look so I stare at the floor

I guess what I've learned

You made me feel like I'm alive once more

You know I'd all but given up

Given up the ghost of romance and stuff

And do you know what hurt me the most?

Yeah, I'd given up on love

Oh speed dating

No, no, no, please don't be hating

You've given me the opportunity

Gonna grab it with both hands and keep it gratefully

Oh speed dating

After all the years I've been contemplating

Why do I now feel so afraid

Of the strong connection that we've made
