I'm racing
'Cause waiting was never my strong point
Now I'm counting to ten
You got me all foggy
Damn, I only got to three again

Please excuse my temper, I don't mean to be rude
I just wanna get a little closer to you
I know I should know better
I'd just hate to lose your love to my short fuse

Lately, all I ever get is a maybe
Tryna keep it cool, but I'm failing
Getting pretty good at testing out my temper
And now it's almost daily, questioning my personality
Starting to think that you hate me, do you?
Tell me 'cause you're testing out my temper

Well I hope that you have
Have a sense of humour
And you think that it's charming how
How rapidly I'm seeing red

Please excuse my temper, I don't mean to be rude
I just wanna get a little closer to you
I know I should know better
I'd just hate to lose your love to my short fuse

Lately, all I ever get is a maybe
Tryna keep it cool, but I'm failing
Getting pretty good at testing out my temper
And now it's almost daily, questioning my personality
Starting to think that you hate me, do you?
Tell me 'cause you're testing out my temper

I don't wanna be someone who can't just figure it out
I don't wanna have something that just keeps bringing me down
All I want is to somehow get you loving me now (Testing out my temper, oh-ooh)
I don't wanna be someone who can just figure it out (Ooh)
I don't wanna have something that just keeps bringing me down (Ooh)
All I want is to somehow get you loving me now (Ooh, testing out my temper)

Lately, all I ever get is a maybe
Tryna keep it cool, but I'm failing
Getting pretty good at testing out my temper
And now it's almost daily, questioning my personality
Starting to think that you hate me, do you?
Tell me 'cause you're testing out my temper (Oh)

Lately, all I ever get is a maybe
Tryna keep it cool, but I'm failing
You're getting pretty good at testing out my temper
Daily, questioning my personality
Starting to think that you hate me, do you?
Tell me 'cause you're testing out my temper
