LYRICS

He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, she’d never tell
But secretly she wanted him as well
And all of her friends stuck up their nose
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 in space
She needed to come back down to earth

Five years from now
She sits at home feeding the baby
She’s all alone
She turns on TV and 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 ya later boy
He wasn’t good enough for her
Now he’s a superstar
Slammin’ on his guitar
Does your pretty face
See what he’s worth?

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 your pretty face
See what he’s worth?

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 anymore obvious
We are in love
Haven’t you heard
How we rock each other’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 the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

I’m with the skater boy
I said see ya later boy
I’ll be backstage after the show
I’ll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
