Lyrics 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 'cos 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 lookin' 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 pa-
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 somethin' better
But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter
I haven't gone as far as askin' if I could get with her
I just play it b-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
All I can do was stare
Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare
Now she's more sophisticated
Highly edumacated
Not at all overrated
I think I need a prayer
To get in her book 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 and stop her stride 'cos I won't have no more of this passin' me by
Time for me to voice my opinion
Can't be pretendin' she didn't have me
Sprung like a chicken
Chasin' my tail like a doggie
She was kind of like a star
Thinkin' I was like a fan
Damn she looked good
Downside, 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 begins 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 persistence
And I was so lowkey that she was unaware of my existence
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 simp
Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp 'cos then I would let you know that I love you so
And if I was your man then I would be true
The only lyin' 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 pa-
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
