|
I'll never forget the first day I met her |
|
That September morning was clear and fresh |
|
The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes |
|
And the way she rubbed herself |
|
Against the edge of my desk |
|
She became a magic mystery to me |
|
And we'd sit together in double history twice a week |
|
And some days we'd walk the same way home |
|
And it's surprising how quick |
|
A little rain can clear the streets |
|
We dreamed of her and compared our dreams |
|
But that was all that I ever tasted |
|
She lied to me with her body you see |
|
I lied to myself 'bout the chances I'd wasted |
|
The times we were close, were far and few between |
|
In the darkness at the dances in the school canteen |
|
Did she close her eyes as I did when we held each other tight? |
|
And la la la la la la la la la, means I love you |
|
She danced with me and I still hold that memory |
|
Soft and sweet and I stare up at her window |
|
As I walk down her street, but I never made the first team |
|
I just made the first team laugh and she never came to the phone |
|
She was always in the bath |
|
In the end, it took me a dictionary |
|
To find out the meaning of unrequited |
|
While she was giving herself for free |
|
At a party to which I was never invited |
|
I never understood my failings then |
|
And I hide my humble hopes now |
|
Thinking back she made us want her |
|
A girl not old enough to shave her legs |
