The Strypes - Hometown Girls lyrics

rate me

I wanna tell you but I can’t spit it out

T-t-t-tripping on my tongue and my mouth is stiff

Feels like I’m hanging off the edge of a cliff

And my eyes can’t pick a pocket where they’re happy to stick

I’m running from the point

Babe, I’m missing a trick with you

My line is up but girl I’m missing my cue.

Chorus:

But can’t you give me a fix, so I’m craving confidence?

Well, I reek of sweat and teenage innocence

Well, I want you so, but I know you’ll never know

Cause I’m too shy, I’m too shy for the hometown girl!

I wanna tell you but I’m sick with the fright

S-s-s-slipping up I’m caught in the light of lust

I get the feeling that you ain’t too fussed.

My head feels heavy as the regret sinks in

I shouldn’t be afraid to take it on the chin

But I duck, I miss the jab but I’m hit with the hook

Chorus: (x3)

But can’t you give me a fix, so I’m craving confidence?

Well, I reek of sweat and teenage innocence

Well, I want you so, but I know you’ll never know

Cause I’m too shy, I’m too shy for the hometown girl!
