The Strypes - Hometown Girls Lyrics
I wanna tell you but I can't spit it outT-t-t-tripping on my tongue and my mouth is stiffFeels like I'm hanging off the edge of a cliffAnd my eyes can't pick a pocket where they're happy to stickI'm running from the pointBabe, I'm missing a trick with youMy line is up but girl I'm missing my cue.Chorus:But can't you give me a fix, so I'm craving confidence?Well, I reek of sweat and teenage innocenceWell, I want you so, but I know you'll never knowCause I'm too shy, I'm too shy for the hometown girl!I wanna tell you but I'm sick with the frightS-s-s-slipping up I'm caught in the light of lustI get the feeling that you ain't too fussed.My head feels heavy as the regret sinks inI shouldn't be afraid to take it on the chinBut I duck, I miss the jab but I'm hit with the hookChorus: (x3)But can't you give me a fix, so I'm craving confidence?Well, I reek of sweat and teenage innocenceWell, I want you so, but I know you'll never knowCause I'm too shy, I'm too shy for the hometown girl!
