   I put what I hear differently in caps… to give you some more ideas:

   I'M sittin on my front stair
   You walk past again
   Lookin’ like I’m doin’ somethin’ else
   It’s JUST not proper what I’m thinking
   So do it – you did
   You got me feelin’ like a kid
   But I’m no CHILD THIS old man
   So I’m not gonna pull your hair

   chorus

   There I go again
   Fallin’ off my HORSE SEE YOU WAVIN'
   Hello, YOU SMILE and THEN you move BY
   I’m tryin to think of somethin’ else
   And also wash my mouth out
   Wish I could clean out my head
   Cause you got me all up inside
   And I’m not gonna pull your hair

   chorus

   HOPIN' MAYBE IF
   OLDER
   ME AND YOU WORKED WELL
   But I see something
   You’re perfect
   Just the way you are
   GOT SOMETHING
   WISH I
   Could stop this THINKIN'
   Wrongful thinkin’
   Baby, BUT I want
   HER, yea yea

   chorus

   Thanks Kristina. This helped a lot. The words I'm kinda unsure of are the "Horse" and the line "But I'm no child this old man" It sounds like there's something more between "child" and "this" … ANyone else hear something?

   Nope, it was "when you were 12". You had it right the first time.

   I'm sittin on my front stair
   You walk past again
   Lookin’ like I’m doin’ somethin’ else
   It’s just not proper what I’m thinking
   So do it – you did
   You got me feelin’ like a kid
   But I’m no typical old man
   So I’m not gonna pull your hair

   I fall so hard inside the Idea of You
   That's why with you, can say what I mean
   Wanna stay but I believe I'm gettin out of here
   I fall so hard inside the Idea of You

   There I go again
   Fallin’ off my horse, you there?
   Hello, you smile and then you move out
   I’m tryin to think of somethin’ else
   And also wash my mouth out
   Wish I could clean out my head
   Cause you got me all up inside
   And I’m not gonna pull your hair

   I fall so hard inside the Idea of You
   That's why with you, can say what I mean
   Wanna stay but I believe I'm gettin out of here
   I fall so hard inside the Idea of You

   Hopin' maybe
   Alright
   When you were 12
   But I see somethin
   You’re perfect
   Just the way you are
   I'm Sorry
   Wish I
   Could stop this thinkin'
   Wrongful thinkin’
   Baby, But I want
   her, yea yea yeaaaaa

   "yeah" (in instrumental breakdown)
   ahh awwe yea

   I fall so hard inside the Idea of You
   That's why with you, can say what I mean
   Wanna stay but I believe I'm gettin out of here
   I fall so hard inside the Idea of You
