Overexcited Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m halfway home, at the pub on the corner of the street
I see kids from school, but I stare down at my feet
Sports on TV
They scream for victory

A few blocks down, there’s Dawn, she’s got spinach on her teeth
In between the front ones, just a little bitty leaf
And I try to speak, but Dawn makes me nervous

[Chorus]
And I get overexcited
Can’t do a damn thing about it
My God we’re shoulder to shoulder
Nice guy looking for a future lover

[Verse 2]
The pet shop’s closed, too bad, cause animals like me back
We had a dog once, we all just called her Kat
Was mum’s idea
She’s got great sense of humor

Later tonight, some soup, then I’ll probably send a text
“Hey Dawn it’s Jim, would you like to have some sex?
And if that’s too weird, maybe just a hot chocolate”
[Chorus]
I get so overexcited
Can’t do a damn thing about it
My God we’re shoulder to shoulder
Nice guy looking for a future lover

[Bridge]
Future lover, future lover
Future lover
Future lover
Future lover
Hey, hey, hey
Future lover
Future lover
Future lover

[Chorus]
I get so overexcited
Can’t do a damn thing about it
My God we’re shoulder to shoulder
Nice guy looking for a future lover

[Outro]
‘Cause I’m bored, bored, bored
Everyone knows it’s hard living with mother
If you can even call this living
Here’s the ride cymbal
Nothing makes a man feel more alive
Than when they’re the tanging the hump of the ride
Tang the hump
Everyone knows it’s humpin’ living on ride cymbals
If you can even call that drumming

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
