Well,you'll know how I feel.And the mistake I'd be making,the tremolo caused by my whole body shaking.As you sit here feeling embarrassed for me.Well,you don't have to be.And maybe I'll try to imagine you all without clothes.But singing in front of all naked strangers scares me more than anyone knows.
