YOU MIGHT BE IN LOVE

YOU MIGHT BE IN LOVE

If you're making a fool of yourself

And you know you're making a fool of yourself,

But you still do it anyway

No matter what people will say,

If you're knocked off your feet,

If you just can't sleep,

If an essence hangs in your nose,

If you keep seeing a face wherever you go,

If you can't eat because you're thinking of someone you want to meet,

If you stand up all day on your feet, because you gave up your seat,

If all you can think of is walking side by side holding hands,

If you have a song in your head because it's from someone's favorite band,

If you feel like you're going insane,

If you keep calling someone's name,

If you feel all achy like you have the flu,

If the pain won't go away and you don't know what to do,

If for no reason you feel like you could cry,

If suddenly you think you can fly,

If you get dizzy when you try to think,

If for the last hour your eyes haven't blinked,

If you’re whole body feels numb,

If every word you speak really sounds dumb,

If everywhere you look you see couples in love,

If there is someone that you're always thinking of,

If even when you know you shouldn't you still send a text,

If you keep thinking about when you will see someone next,

If you stay too long when you know you should go,

If you're afraid to leave, because when you will see them again you just don’t know,

If you feel like you're about to have a nervous breakdown,

If everything you do makes you feel like a clown,

If when you're with someone the time goes by so fast,

If you think that this is just too good to last,

You might be in love.
