| [00:24.39] |
Now in my younger days I used to sport as shag |
| [00:27.04] |
When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag |
| [00:29.71] |
With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss |
| [00:32.30] |
Always got mad when the class was dismissed |
| [00:35.18] |
But when it was in session, I always had a question |
| [00:38.00] |
I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and |
| [00:40.80] |
Help me with my problem, it was never much |
| [00:43.00] |
Just a trick, to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch |
| [00:46.00] |
Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug |
| [00:49.57] |
She was married to the man, he was a thug |
| [00:52.34] |
His name was Lee, he drove a Z |
| [00:53.42] |
He'd pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock |
| [00:56.83] |
I was on her jock, yes, indeedy I wrote graffiti on the bus |
| [01:00.70] |
First I'd write her name then carve a plus |
| [01:03.32] |
With my name last on the looking glass |
| [01:06.00] |
I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass |
| [01:11.00] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [01:16.31] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [01:21.31] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [01:26.90] |
She keeps on pass |
| [01:30.60] |
When I dream of fairy tales I think of me and Shelly |
| [01:33.09] |
See she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me |
| [01:35.89] |
That I should quit chasin' and look for something better |
| [01:38.55] |
But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter |
| [01:41.28] |
I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her |
| [01:44.22] |
I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture |
| [01:46.85] |
I'm shootin' for her heart, got my finger on the trigger |
| [01:49.44] |
She could be my broad, and I could be her nigga |
| [01:52.42] |
But, all I can do is stare |
| [01:55.25] |
Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare |
| [01:58.07] |
Now she's more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated |
| [02:00.60] |
Not at all over-rated, I think I need a prayer |
| [02:03.20] |
To get in her boots and it looks rather dry |
| [02:06.02] |
I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye |
| [02:09.00] |
Although she's crazy steppin, I'll try to stop her stride |
| [02:11.72] |
'Cause I won't have no more of this passin' me by |
| [02:14.18] |
And I must voice my opinion of not even pretending she didn't have me |
| [02:17.19] |
Strung like a chicken, chase my tail like a doggie |
| [02:20.05] |
She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan |
| [02:22.62] |
Dude, she looked good, down side, she had a man |
| [02:25.32] |
He was a rooty-toot, a nincompoop |
| [02:28.18] |
She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop |
| [02:30.74] |
She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand |
| [02:34.33] |
By lettin' her pass I had proved to be a better man |
| [02:39.00] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [02:44.59] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [02:49.74] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [02:55.16] |
She keeps on passin' me |
| [03:09.21] |
Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian |
| [03:12.00] |
And now the world around me be gets movin' in slow motion |
| [03:14.17] |
Whenever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye |
| [03:17.28] |
Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try? |
| [03:20.22] |
Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistance |
| [03:23.86] |
And I was so low key that she was unaware of my existance |
| [03:26.59] |
From a distance I desired, secretly admired her |
| [03:29.41] |
Wired her a letter to get her, and it went |
| [03:31.83] |
My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me |
| [03:33.68] |
But I know you very well |
| [03:35.00] |
Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you |
| [03:37.44] |
When I try or make some sort of attempt, I symp |
| [03:39.80] |
Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp |
| [03:42.15] |
'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so |
| [03:44.00] |
And if I was your man then I would be true |
| [03:45.44] |
The only lying I would do is in the bed with you |
| [03:48.16] |
Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly, P.S. love me tender |
| [03:51.27] |
The letter came back three days later, return to sender, damn |
| [03:56.80] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [04:02.01] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [04:07.32] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [04:13.08] |
She keeps on passin' me by |
| [04:18.80] |
She keeps on passin' |
| [04:37.65] |
She keeps, passin' me by |
| [04:40.52] |
She keeps, passin' me by |
| [04:43.00] |
She keeps, passin' me by |
