Lyrics
Intro
Third time you looked this way
Don't make me count again
Your drink is in your hand
You forgot to take a sip
(Mm)
Verse 1
Your friends are telling stories
You nod like you can hear
But every time I turn around
Your eyes are over here
White shirt, sleeves rolled twice
One hand around your glass
I take one step in your direction
You smooth the front so fast
I like the little effort
Better when you think I missed it
All that calm from far away
Gets quiet when I get near
(Mm)
Pre-Chorus
Little rush beneath my skin
Maybe I should let you in
I could keep pretending
But you've been waiting long enough
No more looking through the crowd
Baby, look at me right now
I take the last step, then I say—
Chorus
You look good from over there
Even better standing here
But don't let all that confidence
Disappear, disappear
I caught your eyes, you caught me too
Now tell me what you came to do
Come say it soft, but make it clear
Mr. Handsome
(Mm, Mr. Handsome)
Post-Chorus
Right there
(Mm)
Don't look down
One step closer
Hold it now
Right there
(Ah)
Eyes on me
Bring that cool
Back to me
Verse 2
Your first word comes out easy
The next one takes its time
You ask me if I'm leaving
I ask what's on your mind
You laugh and touch your collar
I lean in just enough
Warm skin, something like cedar
Nerves you're trying to cover up
You tell me I'm distracting
I say, "You started this"
Then someone calls across the yard
And your name gets lost again
I could ask you to repeat it
But handsome works for now
(It does)
Pre-Chorus
Now the air is getting small
I can barely hear them all
Looking good got you beside me
What comes next decides the night
I gave you room to make your move
Don't make me finish it for you
You've got my attention, so—
Chorus
You look good from over there
Even better standing here
But don't let all that confidence
Disappear, disappear
I caught your eyes, you caught me too
Now tell me what you came to do
Come say it soft, but make it clear
Mr. Handsome
(Mm, Mr. Handsome)
Post-Chorus
Right there
(Mm)
Don't look down
One step closer
Hold it now
Right there
(Ah)
Eyes on me
Bring that cool
Back to me
Bridge
Leave the pose with all your friends
I like you better like this
Don't rehearse it, don't impress me
Tell me what you really meant
Pretty brought you across the distance
Honest keeps you close
(Mm)
Chorus
You looked good from over there
Look even better standing here
Now that little confidence
Is coming back, I see it clear
I caught your eyes, you caught me too
So tell me what you wanna do
Come say it low, I wanna hear
Mr. Handsome
(Mm, that's better)
Outro
Right there
Stay right there
Mm—
(ahhh)
Mr. Handsome
