He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I 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

five years from now, she sits at home,
feeding the baby, she's all 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 superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does her pretty face see what's 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 superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does her pretty face see what's 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 any more obvious?
We are in love,
haven't you heard how we rock each others world?

I'm with the skater boy, I said see you later boy
I'll be the backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote
about a girl he used to know (2x)
