Deer Caught in the Headlights Lyrics

by The Wedding Present
Intro: Bottleneck slide up
Verse 1:
E B C# x2
You won't give it a thought and that's neither wrong nor right,
E B C# x2
and I'm the deer that's caught in your headlights.
E B C# x2
How can it be that just one glance is enough,
E B C# x2
to petrify me. How do you do that stuff?
CHORUS 1:
Because as soon as you look my way that's when I totally freeze,
and it's at moments like these that I can't think of a single thing to say except for,
well maybe, you're just too pretty for me.
Verse 2:
E B C# x2
You wear a stunning dress and then say ?What, this old thing?'.
E B C# x2
Your genuineness is just so captivating.
CHORUS 2:
But as soon as you look my way that's when I totally freeze,
and it's at moments like these that I can't think of a single thing to say except for,
well maybe you're just too pretty for me.
CHORUS 3:
And if I was a painter, I'd just paint portraits of you.
You'd be in everything I do.
Outro:
Last:
E, B C# x 2
E, B C#
