lyrics

Verse 1
I turn the corner and my eyes
Go directly to her
I try to keep up with the conversation
It's a blur

Shooting longing glances
I wish I could be with her
But that is impossible
I'm such an amateur

Chorus
Crushing on a straight girl
How could she even know
The effect that she
Has on me

I'm going round in circles
I do not stand a chance
Even though she's always
So flirty

Crushing on a straight girl
Crushing on a straight girl
Crushing on a straight girl
I'm crushing

Verse 2
Is it in my head
Or did she just give me a wink
Now I'm so confused
What does she want me to think

Reaching out to grab my hand
My heart skips a beat
Is it possible that those glances
Did something

Chorus
Crushing on a straight girl
How could she even know
The effect that she
Has on me

I'm going round in circles
I do not stand a chance
Even though she's always
So flirty

Crushing on a straight girl
Crushing on a straight girl
Crushing on a straight girl
I'm crushing

Bridge
Another day
I see her with a boy
As she touches his arm
It takes away my joy

I had so much hope
In something that's not real
I wish that I could take back
Everything I feel

Chorus
Crushing on a straight girl
How could she even know
The effect that she
Has on me

I'm going round in circles
I do not stand a chance
Even though she's always
So flirty

I crushed on a straight girl
I never could have known
The effect that she'd
Have on me

I'm going round in circles
I thought I stood a chance
But she never wanted
To be with me

Crushing on a straight girl
Crushing on a straight girl
Crushing on a straight girl
Crushed me
