You, you walked into the room
On a Friday afternoon
That's when I saw you for the first time
And I was paralyzed
I had a million things to say
But none of them came out that day
'Cause I was never one of those guys
Who always had the best lines
Time stops ticking
My hands keep shaking
You don't even know that
I try to speak, but girl, you got me tongue-tied
I try to breathe, but I'm f-f-f-frozen inside
I try to move, but I'm stuck in my shoes
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
I see you walking, but all you do is pass me by
Can't even talk, 'cause words don't come into my mind
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
Now I've learned a lot from my mistake
Never let a good thing slip away
I've had a lot of time to look back
But my only regret is
Not telling you what I was going through
You didn't even know that
I try to speak, but girl, you got me tongue-tied
I try to breathe, but I'm f-f-f-frozen inside
I try to move, but I'm stuck in my shoes
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
I see you walking, but all you do is pass me by
Can't even talk, 'cause words don't come into my mind
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
As the years go by I think about you all the time (whoa)
If I get the chance I hope I won't be paralyzed, paralyzed by you
You walked into the room on a Friday afternoon
(1, 2, 3!)
I try to speak, but girl, you got me tongue-tied
I try to breathe, but I'm f-f-f-frozen inside
I try to move, but I'm stuck in my shoes
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
I see you walking, but all you do is pass me by
Can't even talk, 'cause words don't come into my mind
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
Paralyzed, paralyzed (you got me tongue-tied)
Paralyzed, paralyzed (now I'm frozen inside)
Paralyzed, paralyzed
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
