Walking home from school again
You were walking with a friend of yours
And I thought I heard you say…

Well, my boyfriend’s gonna leave me soon
That’s what your lips were movin’ to
I was sent to hand you what I had
Baby, I just know we’re through

You came home and told your mama
           And you told you daddy, too
           Cause they called me on the telephone
           And said stay away from Mary Lou

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Now I guess I’ll go on down to Petey’s Place
Have a drink or maybe two
Think about the things I said to me
About the things you said to you

We keep talking to ourselves all day
Over-thinking what we feel
I don’t know what fantasy you’re in
But my love for you is real

I know that we can’t never be
Nobody understood

Don’t go goin’ out to the playground alone
Let me come and take your hand

There ain‘t nothin’ that we couldn’t do
           Baby, let me take you home

 [INSTRUMENTAL]

I guess there’s reasons why we can’t be here
In a spot we felt so good

We just managed through our destiny
Thinking about what we could maybe be

Honey, don’t you know that you’ll never see
If you listen to only me

I don’t know just what you want me to say
I could start all over yesterday

But today I’m gonna try and feel
           What you believe is fantasy or real
           I’m confused by what your friends all say
          Today ain’t the day

I don’t know, I guess you go
You’re too young and I’m too old
I’m gonna get out on that highway and roll
