Lyrics

0:25Now in my younger days I used to sport a shag
0:28When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag
0:30With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss
0:33Always got mad when the class was dismissed
0:36But when it was in session I always had a question
0:39I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and
0:42Help me with my problem it was never much
0:44Just a trick to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch
0:47Oh how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug
0:51She was married to the man he was a thug
0:53His name was Lee he drove a Z
0:55He'd pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock
0:57I was on her jock yes indeedy I wrote graffiti on the bus
1:02First I'd write her name then carve a plus
1:04With my name last on the looking glass
1:06I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass
1:12She keeps on passin me by
1:32When I dream of fairytales I think of me and Shelly
1:33See she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me
1:37That I should quit chasin' and look for something better
1:39But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter
1:42I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her
1:44I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture
1:47I'm shootin for her heart got my finger on the trigger
1:50She could be my broad and I could be her (ni**a)
1:53But all I can do is stare
1:56Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare
1:59Now she's more sophisticated highly edu-ma-cated
2:01Not at all over-rated I think I need a prayer
2:04To get in her boots and it looks rather dry
2:06I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye
2:09Although she's crazy steppin I'll try to stop her stride
2:12Cause I won't have no more of this passin me by
2:15Time for me to voice my opinion of not even pretendin she didn't have me
2:18Strung like a chicken chase my tail like a doggie
2:20She was kind of like a star thinking I was like a fan
2:23Dude she looked good down side: she had a man
2:26He was a rooty-toot a nincompoop
2:29She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop
2:31She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand
2:35By lettin her pass I had proved to be a better man
2:40She keeps on passin me by
3:10Now there she goes again the dopest Ethiopian
3:12And now the world around me be gets movin in slow motion
3:15When-ever she happens to walk by - why does the apple of my eye
3:19Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try
3:21Wait no i did not really pursue my little princess with persistance;
3:24And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existance
3:27From a distance I desired secretly admired her;
3:31Wired her a letter to get her and it went:
3:32My dear my dear my dear you do not know me but I know you very well
3:35Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you
3:38When I try or make some sort of attempt I symp
3:40Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp
3:43'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so
3:45And if I was your man then I would be true
3:47The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
3:49Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly PS love me tender
3:51The letter came back three days later: Return to Sender
3:55Damn
3:57She keeps on passin me by
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
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 (ni**a)
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
