How Do I Do This

(How-)
(How do I-)

They say to get out with the old, you get in with the new
And I haven't been on a date since I was twenty-two
My friend has a friend, and they say they're my type
And then they're texting me once, and then they're texting me twice
Saying: Are you free Saturday? I know a spot
So I typed out a couple million ways to respond
But I landed with yes
Shit, so where the hell is my dress?

Doing last looks in the mirror
Tell myself: I got this, I got this
But I'm back at the beginning again, and now
So if I'm honest

I'm scared of looking stupid
Said I, I'm ready now I gotta prove it
Got a little black dress, I wanna use it
And maybe lose it on the floor that ain't mine
I think it's probably time to keep it movin'
I talk a big game, then I'm scared of losin'
Everything I knew about love is ruined, it's so confusing
So, how do, how do I do this?

I wonder if they'll ask if I'm still feelin' blue
And will they bring up the elephant in the room?
Yeah, what if they lean in at the end of the night?
What if it's feeling right, what if it's too good to be true?

I'm scared of looking stupid
Said I, I'm ready now I gotta prove it
Got a little black dress, I wanna use it
And maybe lose it on the floor that ain't mine
I think it's probably time to keep it movin'
I talk a big game, then I'm scared of losin'
Everything I knew about love is ruined, it's so confusing
So, how do, how do I do this?

Said they'd pick me up at seven
It's 6:52
And I know who I am
But what the fuck do I do?

I'm scared of looking stupid
Said I, I'm ready now I gotta prove it
Got a little black dress, I wanna use it
And maybe lose it on the floor that ain't mine
I think it's probably time to keep it movin'
I talk a big game, then I'm scared of losin'
Everything I knew about love is ruined, it's so confusing
So, how do, how do I do this?

I'm calling Kelly for a talk
Like is it wrong to take a shot?
I'm freaking out, like oh my God
'Cause now it's seven on the dot
