A Little Excited - Greg Brown

I’m a slow boy, I take it easy

I poke around, I’m a little lazy

I don’t get loud, I don’t get shook

Sit over in the corner and write in my notebook

But I get a little excited, I get a little excited

I get a little excited when my darling comes around

Her shoes are broke, she wears an old dress

I don’t know what it is I confess

Bags under her eyes, a weary soul

When the woman starts laughing I lose control

And I get a little excited, I get a little excited

I get a little excited when my darling comes around

Only thing I wanna see today

Is her face six inches away

When she ain’t around, there’s a lot amiss

When she plants one on me, buddy, that’s a kiss

I get a little excited, I get a little excited

I get a little excited when my darling comes around

I go ah mm ah ha ah, she goes oh mm ah ha ah

Well life is work day to day

Not one thing is here to stay

I like to hide out when I can

I’m a Midwest boy, I’m a big dumb man

But I get a little excited, I get a little excited

I get a little excited when my darling comes around

I like her mind, I like her mouth

She’s like a sunflower shinin' down South

I like her voice, I like her cookin'

I stare at her if she is or if she ain’t lookin'

And I get a little excited, I get a little excited

I get a little excited when my darling comes around

I get a little excited, oh I get a little excited

I get a little excited when my darling comes around
