Not Tonight lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm staring at him

But I forget to pick my face up of off the floor

We're in a crowd, but it feels like we're alone

Oh my god he just looked at me

And I just wanna tell him something that he's never heard (oooh)

But my lips won't let me tell him, tell him

I would say this

[Hook 1]

But maybe, maybe in another life

I could be the girl who walks up to the guy

And tells him, tells him how she feels inside

But, not tonight, no not tonight

[Verse 2]

What if he walks towards me

While all the blood is rushing right to my brain

What am I gonna say, what am I gonna say

I may stop breathing and freeze

Cause that's the story of my life

Wouldn't it be crazy

If he felt, how I felt, overwhelmed and terrified

But he took my hand, and he took his chance

'Can I have this dance?'

If only we were in a Cinderella story

[Hook 1]

Maybe, maybe in another life

I could be the girl who walks up to the guy

And tells him, tells him how she feels inside

But not tonight, tonight

[Verse 3]

Who would I be

To make my feelings known

I need a little audacity but it's not in my bones

I'm standing here, terrified

Broken hearted, I could die (oooh ah)

I'm staring at him

But I forget to pick my face up off the floor

I feel like a fool and even though I do

I only wanna tell him that I love him more, more

[Hook 2]

Maybe, maybe in another life

I would be the girl who walks up to the guy

And says 'hey my name is Elle and I think you're kinda fly'

But not tonight, not tonight, tonight

[Hook 1]

Maybe, maybe in another life

I would be the girl who walks up to the guy

And tells him, tells him how she feels inside

But not tonight, not tonight

Maybe

Maybe, maybe
