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

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 passin me by

She keeps on passin me by

She keeps on passin me by

Now 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 (*****)

Oh lucky to see

Back as kids we used to kiss

When we played truth or dare

Now she's more sophisticated

Highly edu ma cated

Not at all over rated

I think I need a prayer

To get in her boots 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 to stop her stride

Cause I won't have no more of this passin me by

And I must voice my opinion of not even

Pretending she didn't have me

Strung like a chicken chase my tail like a doggie

She was kind of like a star thinking I was like a fan

Dude she looked good down side 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 by

She keeps on passin me by

She keeps on passin me by

She keeps on passin me by

She keeps on passin me by

Now there she goes again the ****** ethiopian

And now the world around me be

Gets movin in slow motion

When ever 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 persistance;

And I was so low key

That she was unaware of my existance

From a distance I desired secretly admired her;

Wired her a letter to get her

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 symp

Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp

'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so

And if I was your man then I would be true

The only lying 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

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 passin me by

She keeps on passin me by

She keeps on passin me by

She keeps on passin me by
