Lyrics:
He's was a boy,
She's was a a girl,
cannot make it any more obvious,
He was a punk,
she did ballet,
what more can i say.
He wanted her,
She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well,
But all of her friends,
Stuck up their nose,
They had a problem with his baggy clothes.
He was a skater boy,
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her,
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth.
5 years from now,
She sits at home,
Feeding the baby she's 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,
Stands in the crowd,
Looks up at the man that she turned down.
He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her,
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a skater boy,
She said see you later boy,
He wasn't good enough for her,
Now he's a super star ,
Slamming on his guitar ,
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
(music)
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 each others world (x2)
I'm with the skater boy,
I said see you later boy,
I'll be back stage after the show,
I'll be at the studio,
Singing the song we wrote,
About a girl you used to know.
