Sometimes You Have to Give It a Shot

Well, just look at that girl with the lights comin’ up in her eyes
She’s got to be somebody’s baby
She must be somebody’s baby
All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by

I try to shut my eyes but I can’t get her out of my sight
I know I’m gonna know her but I gotta get over my fright
We’ll, I’m just gonna walk up to her
I’m gonna talk to her tonight

Jackson Browne - Somebody’s Baby

It’s a simple concept; you don’t know until you try. Doesn’t matter if it’s a person, task, new job or hobby. You have to get over your fear of taking the first step. I have had these lyrics saved for a long time, because I knew I’d use them. A chat with a friend reminded me of this exact scenario, so it became the perfect time to post them. I can remember a time when all it took was the courage to just talk to the girl.

I have always been a fan of Jackson Browne and I’m sure more of his songs will find their way onto these pages.
