 A                     C
Life is so boring its really got me snoring
     G                              D
I'm wearing out the flooring in a cheap hotel
       A                        C
But I don't have to work and I might be sinning
       G                            D
But I never gonna have to hear the rings of school bells
 A        C       G      D
Do-doo Dodododoo Do-doo Dodododoo
 A        C       G      D
Do-doo Dodododoo Do-doo Dodododoo

Don't you remember you told me in December
That a boy is not a man until he makes a stand
Well I'm not a genius but maybe you'll remember this
I never said I ever wanted to be a man
Do-doo Dodododoo Do-doo Dodododoo
Do-doo Dodododoo Do-doo Dodododoo

Chorus:
G                       A#
I get nervous when she comes around,
          F                      G
when she comes around, when she comes around
G                       A#
I get nervous when she comes around,
          F                      G
when she comes around, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around,
when she comes around, when she comes around
I get nervous when she comes around,
when she comes around, when she comes around

My mom is so caring she really got me staring
At all the crazy little things she does for sure
And I can't seem to think of another kind of love
that a boy could ever get from anyone but her
Do-doo Dodododoo Do-doo Dodododoo
Do-doo Dodododoo Do-doo Dodododoo

Chorus
