Written about a very beautiful barmaid at the club I was playing at - sweet and unaware of my fascination. Under-confidence strikes again

lyrics

Erica
I don't mean to stare at ya
But I've never seen such beauty
"Cept maybe in some movie
Makes it hard to talk when you first walk up to me
It's like I'm scared o' ya

Erica
I wish I could be there with ya
But I bet you got somebody
He's probably some sweet hottie
I bet he's never ever mean or mad or snotty
Not with Erica

When she smiles it fills my head
My mouth gets dry, my face gets red
Still hang on every word she's said to me
Oh yeah

Yeah she's the one that turns my head
But I can tell by every word she's said
She's no idea how she's affecting me

Oh, Erica
I think that I could care for ya
But I don't think you see me
As somebody that's "dreamy"
And I'm pretty sure that it ain't never gonna be me
Not with Erica
Not with Erica
Not with Erica
Uh huh huh huh
