The little things you do to me are taking me over
I wanna show you everything inside of me
Like a nervous heart that is crazy beating
My feet are stuck here, against the pavement
I wanna break free
I wanna make it closer to your eyes
Get your attention before you pass me by

Back up, back up
Take another chance
Don't you mess up, mess up
I don't wanna lose you
Wake up, wake up
This ain't just a thing that you
Give up, give up
Don't you say that I'd be better off,
Better off sitting by myself than wondering
If I'm better off, better off without you, boy

And everytime you notice me
By holding me closely
And saying sweet things
I don't believe that it could be
Speaking your mind and saying the real thing
My feet have broke free and I am leaving
I'm not gonna stand here feeling lonely but
I don't regret it and I don't think it was just a waste of time

Back up, back up
Take another chance
Don't you mess up, mess up
I don't wanna lose you
Wake up, wake up
This ain't just a thing that you
Give up, give up
Don't you say that I'd be better off,
Better off sitting by myself than wondering
If I'm better off, better off without you, boy

Don't just leave me hanging on
Don't just leave me hanging on

The little things you do to me are taking me over
I wanna show you everything inside of me
Like a nervous heart that is crazy beating
My feet are stuck here, against the pavement
I wanna break free
I wanna make it closer to your eyes
Get your attention before you pass me by

Don't just leave me hanging on

Back up, back up
Take another chance
Don't you mess up, mess up
I don't wanna lose you
Wake up, wake up
This ain't just a thing that you
Give up, give up
Don't you say that

That I'd be better off (don't just leave me hanging on)
Better off sitting by myself than wondering (don't just leave me hanging on)
If I'm better off, better off without you, boy (don't just leave me hanging on)

Don't just leave me hanging on
Don't just leave me hanging on
