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) (She keeps passin' me by) (She keeps passin' me by) (She keeps passin' me by)
