Limpin’ as you do and I’m watchin’ you
And you don’t really know a-just what to do

You don’t really know
You don’t really know
What to do

And I’m standin’ here not quite aware
And I’m tryin’ baby, tryin’ not to stare

Ooh, ’cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin’ you

Ooh, ’cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin’ us
