A song based very loosely on personal experience…a boy did pick on me a bit when I was about 10 and I did see him on a bus when I was about 14 and….mmm… But I didn’t follow it up, and I really don’t know what he thought of me.
lyrics
(Girl)
When we were young
You picked on me
You pulled my hair in history
You threw my shoes into a tree, but
Oh boy, just look at you now,
Wow! Oh boy, just look at you now.
You were the snot-nosed kid
From down the street
With spots and scurf and 2 left feet
Who tried to give me worms to eat
But oh boy, just look at you now,
Wow! Oh boy, just look at you now.
Can I hold your hand?
Can I talk to you?
Can I look into your eyes
And drown there too?
And I can’t stop thinking
‘Bout you anyhow,
Oh boy, just look at you now,
Wow! Oh boy, just look at you now.
I’d have never thought
You’d turn out like this
With eyes that smile
And a mouth to kiss
Evolution just made a leap I guess
Oh boy, just look at you now
Wow! Oh boy, just look at you now.
I’d have walked a mile
To avoid you then
You were a pain in the neck
Now I’m thinking again
If I walked out now
t would be insane
Oh boy, just look at you now,
Wow! Oh boy, just look at you now.
Can I hold…
(Boy)
You were asking for trouble
And that’s what you got.
But in secret I was smitten and I
Liked you a lot,
And boys crave attention if they
Think a girl’s hot
But oh boy, just look at you now
Wow, oh boy, just look at you now!
You were easy to tease and
Temptation was strong
Sitting next to me with your
Hair that long
And I’ll kiss you if you want -
If you’ll shut up with the song
Oh boy, just look at you now,
Wow, oh boy, just look at you now.
Can I hold your hand?
Can I talk to you?
Can I look into your eyes
And drown there too?
I can’t stop thinking
‘Bout you anyhow,
Oh boy, just look at us now,
Wow! Oh boy, just look at us now.
