Lyrics

I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I'm in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late I knew you never asked for this I know My shots will always misfire My shots will always miss Does everyone stare this way at you? I only look this way at you I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I never noticed the size of my feet Until I kicked you in the shins Will you ever forgive me For the shape I'm in For the shape I'm in Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss [Always miss] Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you
Quotations and trivia
Stewart Copeland's own words in 1981-12 Musician:
"I recorded the demo for that at home. I had a little home studio at the time with wires going everywhere - I think I was running the guitar through the toaster, that sort of thing - and I was playing the piano part while I sang the song, or at least what was supposed to be the lyrics of the song. And just as I finished singing, all the wires in the room acted like a radio and picked up a signal of this opera. It was perfectly in time and perfectly in tune, even the mood and sentiment of the thing were absolutely perfect. So it went straight on tape, exactly in the place that it should have gone. It had to be a message from above that this was the way the song had to go. So we actually used that, my home demo, at the beginning of the studio recording."
