how do i do this

Kelsea Ballerini

(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
