hello, how are you
i wish i knew your name
i saw you here a week ago
and i guess that's why i came
i'd like to meet you
but i wouldn't have the nerve
so i'll sit here in the corner
and i'll get what i deserve

  don't talk to me
  i make a bad impression
  don't talk to me
  you'll ruin everything
  cause if i keep my mouth shut i could be
  a woman of mystery
  but i'm not, so darling please don't talk to me

i'd like to tell you
you're the man who's in my dreams
and the fates have sent you to me
or at least that's how it seems
if i could talk to you
you'd think i was insane
cause i see you and my knees get weak
and i forget my name

  don't talk to me
  i make a bad impression
  don't talk to me
  you'll ruin everything
  cause if i keep my mouth shut i could be
  a woman of mystery
  but i'm not, so darling please don't talk to me

if i could look
i'd write a song about your eyes
but i'm so afraid you'd notice
and that's why i'm in disguise
when you walked by
you tore my heart right off my sleeve
i think you're looking at me
i guess i have to leave

  don't talk to me
  i make a bad impression
  don't talk to me
  you'll ruin everything
  cause if i keep my mouth shut i could be
  a woman of mystery
  but i'm not, so darling please don't talk to me
  don't talk to me
  don't talk to me
  don't talk to me
  don't talk to her either
  but don't talk to me
