You’re standing much too close to me again
I’d never once touched you
But in my mind I’ve already sinned
You’re making it hard for me to be true
I don’t trust me around you

Seems like every place I go I see you there
I can’t keep my eyes off you
I just stand and stare
You tempt me more than anyone I ever knew

I don’t trust me around you

I don’t trust me around you
I belong to someone else
Not once have I been untrue
But when I’m close to you this way I find myself wanting to

I don’t trust me around you
