Passin Me By lyrics

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...

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 (nigga)
But, all I can do is stare...
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
