I saw her from a distance
Thought she might have what I’m missing
Such a pretty mystery
Because we have no history

She had a scent that brings 2nd chances
And maybe I’ve forgot what romance is
So I bottled up obsession
And make my love confession

Mess up, mess up, mess up
Mess up my life

A troubadour at her back door
Not the one she’s been waiting for
I know the score but make believe
That she could end up with me

Perhaps I’ll catch her eye
And she’ll try me on for size
I walk over smoothly
And ask if she wants to choose me and…

Mess up, mess up, mess up
Mess up my life

Shake foundations, instability
Rounding up my own abilities
Breaking peace and sweet tranquility
To quiet up my mind

A fantasy you’re falling for
Distracting ain’t she nothing more
I’m begging her to leave me sore
If she’s got the time

La la lalala la la la

It’s wonderous my lack of trust
It’s thunderous my need for fuss
Before my loving cup gets low
Let’s put on a show and…

Mess up, mess up, mess up
Mess up my life
