The Tenderfoot like a leaf

It wasn? t worth pretending
I noticed when the movie finished
You caught me watching you
No offence intended
None was taken you were certain
I? m not sure what to believe
Got me shaking like a leaf
You know
I? ve landed on my knees too often
A fact I? m failing to disguise
Another poor distraction
Approaching you more of a fashion
You laugh politely so well
I? ve got a gift collecting
Stories that just aren? t worth telling
And sometimes stretch the truth
Which is what I? ll always do
To hide
A catalogue of non adventure
I do my best to sweep aside
Got me shaking like a leaf
You know
I? ve landed on my knees too often
But not so much that I won? t try
I? ve landed on my knees too often
I? ll dust myself off one more time
