I make a fool of myself again
Admitting to making a foolish mistake or error again.
Ya make me trip and stumble

Just go dance by yourself again

I'll just watch
Expressing a desire to observe without direct participation.
Cause that's all I want to do
Indicating contentment with just watching the other person.
But remember

That I'm here with your drink

At my table for two

And you're kinda kute baby, kinda kute baby

See you dance in your satin suit baby

When you move gotta sit right down
Expressing the impact of the person's movements, causing the speaker to sit down.
No competition with
Claiming that there is no competition when this attractive person is around.

Reinforcing the uniqueness and allure of the person.
I see ya pass by my window

Have to run down the stairs again
Expressing the urgency to run down the stairs to catch up with the person.
I fix my hair around a corner

Catch you unawares again

And you laugh
Noting the person's laughter and a particular movement, suggesting familiarity.

Just like last night, oh yea that's right
Comparing the current situation to a memorable past encounter.
I'm the guy with the big feet

But plenty of nerve
