"When He Sees Me" originally performed by Kimiko Glenn

Lyrics:
I stick with real things,
Usually facts and figures!
When information's in its place,
I minimize the guessing game...
Guess what?

"What?"

I don't like guessing games,
Or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings...
How am I supposed to operate
If I'm just tossed around by fate?
Like on an unexpected date?!

The stranger who might talk too fast,
Or ask me questions about myself
Before I've decided that
He can ask me questions about myself!

He might sit too close,
Or call the waiter by his first name,
Or eat Oreos,
But eat the cookie before the cream!
But what scares me the most,
what scares me the most...


Is what if when he sees me,
What if he doesn't like it?
What if he runs the other way,
And I can't hide from it?
What happens then??

If when he knows me,

He's only disappointed?
What if I give myself away,
To only get it given back?!
I couldn't live with that...

So, I'm just fine
Inside my shell-shaped mind,
This way I get the best view...
So, when he sees me...
I want him to!


"Dawn,
Don't you think you're bein' a little
I mean,
maybe just a tad...?"

I'M NOT DEFENSIVE!!
I'm simply being cautious!
I can't risk reckless dating
Due to my miscalculating
While...

A certain suitor stands in line
I've seen in movies,
Most made for television;
You cannot be too careful
When it comes to sharing your life...
I could end up a miserable wife!

"Oh sorry, girls,
But he could be criminal!!"
Some sort of psychopath
Who escaped from an institution,
Somewhere where they don't have girls!
He could have masterminded
Some way to find me!

HE COULD BE COLORBLIND!
How untrustworthy is that!
He could be less than kind,
Or even worse he could be very nice,
Have lovely eyes,
And make me laugh,
Come out of hidin'...
What do I do with that?
Oh, God!


What if when he sees me,
I like him and he knows it?!
What if he opens up a door,
And I can't close it??
What happens then?!

If when he holds me,

My heart is set in motion!
I'm not prepared for that,
I'm scared of breaking open!
But still I can't help from hoping
To find someone to talk to
Who likes the way I am...


Someone who when he sees me
Wants to again!!
