How Do I Do This

(альбом: Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good) - 2023)

They say to get out with the old, you get in with the new
And I haven't been on a date since I was twenty-two
My friend has a friend and they say they're my type
And then they texted me once
And then they texted me twice
Saying, "Are you free Saturday? I know a spot"
So, I typed out a couple million ways to respond
But I landed with "Yes"
Shit, so where the hell is my dress?

Doing last looks in the mirror
Tell myself, "I got this"
I got this
But I'm back at the begin-again-ing now
So, if I'm honest

I'm scared of looking stupid
Said I, I'm ready, now I gotta prove it
Got a little black dress, I wanna use it
And maybe lose it
On a floor that ain't mine
I think it's probably time to keep it moving
I talk a big game that I'm scared of losing
Everything I knew about love is ruined
It's so confusing
So, how do, how do I do this?

I wonder if they'll ask if I'm still feeling blue
And will they bring up the elephant in the room?
Yeah, what if they lean in at the end of the night?
What if it's feeling right?
What if it's too good to be true?

I'm scared of looking stupid
Said I, I'm ready, now I gotta prove it
Got a little black dress, I wanna use it
And maybe lose it
On a floor that ain't mine
I think it's probably time to keep it moving
I talk a big game that I'm scared of losing
Everything I knew about love is ruined
It's so confusing
So, how do, how do I do this?

Said they'd pick me up at 7:00
It's 6:52, mm
And I know who I am
But what the fuck do I do?

I'm scared of looking stupid
Said I, I'm ready, now I gotta prove it
Got a little black dress, I wanna use it
And maybe lose it
On a floor that ain't mine
I think it's probably time to keep it moving
I talk a big game that I'm scared of losing
Everything I knew about love is ruined
It's so confusing
So, how do, how do I do this?

I'm calling Kelly for a talk
Like is it wrong to take a shot?
I'm freaking out like "Oh my God"
'Cause now it's 7:00 on the dot
