Elliot Temple misquotes song lyrics
Boy My First Love Story You're so so handsome My eyes my eyes are blinded I can't breathe because I'm trembling Oh I feel so embarrassed I can't look at you I feel shy because I've fallen in love What should I do? (What should I do~) About my trembling heart (My trembling heart) (Thump thump thump thump) My heart kept thumping So I couldn't fall asleep at night My close friends tell me That I'm really a helpless fool But as I look at you~~ So tingly tingly my body is trembling gee gee gee gee gee Oh your glittering eyes (oh yeah~) Oh this sweet aroma (oh yeah yeah yeah~) I can't even say anything I'm too embarrassed Do I not have any courage? What would be the right thing to do? Thump thump my heart is anxious as I'm looking at you
