She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by
Now in my younger days when I used to sport a shag
I would go to school, carry lunch in a bag
With the 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, she'd make a stack up to my desk
And help me with my problem for it was never much
Just a trick to smell her scent or 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 promptly at three o'clock
For I was on the jock, yes indeed he wrote graffiti
On the bus (On the bus), I'd carve her name in vinyl plus
With my name last (Last), on the liquor glass (Glass)
I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
Now when I dream of fairytales, I think of me and Shelly
'Cause she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me
That I should quit chasin' and look for somethin' better
But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter
I haven't gone as far as askin' if I could get with her
I just play love by ear and hope she gets the picture
I'm shootin' for her heart, got my finger on the trigger
She can be my broad and I can be her nigga
But all I can do is stare at
These kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare
Now she's more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated
Not at all overrated, I think I need a prayer
To get her number, yeah, it looks rather dire
Just a twinkle in her eye, just a twinkle in her eye
Although she's crazy steppin', I'm frontin' side to side
'Cause I can't have no more of you passin' me by
And I must voice my opinion, can't be pretendin' she didn't
Have me sprung like a chicken, chasin' my tail like a doggie
She was like a star (Star), thinkin' I was like a fan (Fan)
Damn, she looked good (Good), downside, she had a man (Man)
He was a rooty-tooty, was a nincompoop
She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop
She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand
But let the past, I'll prove to be a better man
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian
And now the world around me begins movin' in slow motion
Whenever she happens to walk by
Why does the apple of my eye overlook and disregard my feelings
No matter how much I try?
Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistence
And I was so lowkey that she was unaware of my existence
From a distance I desired her, secretly admired her
Wired her a letter together
My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well
Now let me tell you 'bout the feelings I feel for you when I try
Or make some sort of attempt, I simp
Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp
'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so
And if I was your man then I would be true
The only lyin' I would do is in the bed with you
Signed sincerely, the one who loves you dearly, P.S. love me tender
But the letter came back three days later, return to sender
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
She keeps passin' me by (She keeps passin' me by)
She keeps passin' me by
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
(She keeps passin' me by)
