Skater Boy

he was a boy, but she was a girl,
can i make it any more obvious?
he was a punk, she did ballet,
what more can i say?
he wanted her, she wouldn't ever tell but secretly she wanted him as well
but all of her friends, stuck up their nose, and they had a problem with his baggy clothes

he was a skater boy
she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enough for her
she had a pretty face but her head was up into space
she needed to come back down to earth
ten years from now, she sits at home
feeding the baby she's home alone
she turns on tv, guess who she sees
skater boy rockin' up MTV
she calls up her friends, they already know,
and they've all got tickets to see his show
she tags along, and stands in the crowd,
looks up at the man that she turned down, yeah

he was a skater boy
she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enough for her
now he's a superstar
slammin on his guitar
does you see now what he's worth?
(repeat)

sorry girl but you missed out
well tough luck that boy's mine now
we are more than just good friends
this is how the story ends
too bad that you couldn't see
see the man that boy could be
there is more than meets the eye
i see the soul that is inside

he's just a boy, and i'm just a girl,
can i make it any more obvious?
we are in love, haven't you heard
how we rock eachother's world?

i'm with the skater boy
i said see ya later boy
i'll be backstage after the show
i'll be at his studio, singin' this song we wrote
about a girl he used to know
(repeat)
