NOW IN MY YOUNGER DAYS
I USED TO SPORT A SHAG
WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL
I CARRIED LUNCH IN A BAG
WITH AN APPLE FOR
MY TEACHER
'CAUSE I KNEW
I'D GET A KISS
ALWAYS GOT MAD
WHEN THE
CLASS WAS DISMISSED
BUT WHEN IT WAS IN SESSION
I ALWAYS HAD A QUESTION
I WOULD RAISE MY HAND TO MAKE
HER STAGGER TO MY DESK AND
HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM
IT WAS NEVER MUCH
JUST A TRICK TO
SMELL HER SCENT
AND TRY TO SNEAK
A TOUCH
OH HOW I WISH I COULD
HOLD HER HAND
AND GIVE HER A HUG
SHE WAS MARRIED
TO THE MAN
HE WAS A THUG
HIS NAME WAS LEE
HE DROVE A Z
HE'D PICK HER UP FROM SCHOOL
PROMPTLY AT THREE O'CLOCK
I WAS ON HER JOCK YES
INDEEDY
I WROTE GRAFFITI
ON THE BUS
FIRST I'D WRITE HER NAME
THEN CARVE A PLUS
WITH MY NAME LAST ON
THE LOOKING GLASS
I SEEN HER YESTERDAY BUT
STILL I HAD TO LET HER PASS
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN
WHEN I DREAM OF
FAIRYTALES
I THINK OF ME AND SHELLY
SEE SHE'S MY TYPE OF
HYPE AND I CAN'T
STAND WHEN BROTHERS
TELL ME
THAT I SHOULD QUIT
CHASIN' AND
LOOK FOR SOMETHING
BETTER
BUT THE SMILE THAT
SHE SHOWS
MAKES ME A GO-GETTER
I HAVEN'T GONE AS
FAR AS ASKING
IF I COULD GET WITH HER
I JUST PLAY IT BY EAR
AND HOPE
SHE GETS THE PICTURE
I'M SHOOTIN FOR HER
HEART GOT
MY FINGER ON THE TRIGGER
SHE COULD BE MY BROAD
AND I COULD BE HER N####
BUT ALL I CAN
DO IS STARE
BACK AS KIDS WE
USED TO KISS
WHEN WE PLAYED
TRUTH OR DARE
NOW SHE'S MORE
SOPHISTICATED
HIGHLY EDU-MA-CATED
NOT AT ALL OVER-RATED
I THINK I NEED A PRAYER
TO GET IN HER BOOTS AND
IT LOOKS RATHER DRY
I GUESS A TWINKLE
IN HER EYE
IS JUST A TWINKLE
IN HER EYE
ALTHOUGH SHE'S
CRAZY STEPPIN
I'LL TRY TO STOP HER
STRIDE
CAUSE I WON'T HAVE NO
MORE OF THIS PASSIN ME BY
TIME FOR ME TO VOICE MY
OPINION OF NOT
EVEN PRETENDIN SHE
DIDN'T HAVE ME
SPRUNG LIKE
A CHICKEN CHASE
MY TAIL LIKE A DOGGIE
SHE WAS KIND OF LIKE A STAR
THINKING I WAS LIKE A FAN
DAMN SHE LOOKED GOOD
DOWN SIDE SHE HAD A MAN
HE WAS A ROOTY-TOOT
A NINCOMPOOP
SHE TOLD ME SOON YOUR LITTLE
BIRDIE'S GONNA FLY THE COOP
SHE WAS A FLAKE LIKE CORN
AND I WAS BORN NOT
TO UNDERSTAND
BY LETTIN HER PASS I HAD
PROVED TO BE A BETTER MAN
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME
NOW THERE SHE GOES AGAIN
THE DOPEST ETHIOPIAN
AND NOW THE WORLD
AROUND ME
BE GETS MOVIN IN
SLOW MOTION
WHENEVER SHE HAPPENS
TO WALK BY
WHY DOES THE APPLE
OF MY EYE
OVERLOOK AND
DISREGARD MY
FEELINGS NO MATTER
HOW MUCH I TRY
WAIT NO I DID NOT
REALLY PURSUE MY
LITTLE PRINCESS WITH
PERSISTANCE
AND I WAS SO LOW-KEY
THAT SHE
WAS UNAWARE OF MY
EXISTANCE
FROM A DISTANCE
I DESIRED HER
SECRETLY ADMIRED HER
WIRED HER A LETTER TO
GET HER AND IT WENT
MY DEAR MY DEAR MY
DEAR YOU DO NOT
KNOW ME BUT I KNOW
YOU VERY WELL
NOW LET ME TELL
YOU ABOUT
THE FEELINGS I HAVE
FOR YOU
WHEN I TRY OR MAKE SOME
SORT OF ATTEMPT I SYMP
DAMN I WISH I WASN'T
SUCH A WIMP
'CAUSE THEN I WOULD LET YOU
KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU SO
AND IF I WAS YOUR MAN
THEN I WOULD BE TRUE
THE ONLY LYING I WOULD
DO IS IN THE BED WITH YOU
THEN I SIGNED SINCERELY
THE ONE WHO
LOVES YOU DEARLY PS
LOVE ME TENDER
THE LETTER CAME
BACK THREE
DAYS LATER RETURN
TO SENDER DAMN
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN ME BY
SHE KEEPS ON PASSIN
PASSIN ME BY
