You Make Me Shiver and Stuff was Minimum Wage Sigh's first song. While the band name was named after Nikki's first job at a local Fullerton cafe, You Make Me Shiver and Stuff was also based on experiences with this job. Written about fellow employee that Nikki worked with, the first line refers to Nikki pouring herself a coffee and not realizing the employee had arrived to work. The word "Shiver" in the title refers to the nervous shakes that we all try to hide when we're talking to someone we like. The references to HTML (marquees) in the song relate to Nikki's past time job and hobby of creating the first and original Myspace Layouts website that helped people decorate their pages. Nikki wanted everyone to relate to the song as we have all had the one crush that we just couldn't work up the courage to talk to. Instead of expressing her feelings to her fellow employee, Nikki created Minimum Wage Sigh and You Make Me Shiver and Stuff was born.
felt like coffee early today when i saw someone standing in my way
couldn't find the words to say when i saw
it was you
when i see you standing right next to me my mind starts twirling like a marquee
don't even know my 1 2 b c's
now that i've found you
in my mind you'll have a house next to me and we'll be lovers and kiss by a tree
we'll ride our bikes - down by the beach
now that we're together
in reality your standing by me and you don't even know what you've been missing
how can i expect for you to notice
that i'm in love with you
when i see you standing right next to me my mind starts twirling like a marquee
don't even know my 1 2 b c's
now that i've found you
and there you go
slowly out the door
felt like coffee early today when i saw someone standing in my way
couldn't find the words to say when i saw
it was you
and there you go
slowly out the door
in my mind i'd have a kiss good bye
goodbye
coool i spelled coffee wrong. typo.
