Sitting in the same old class
Same teacher droning on and on
I catch your eye and mouth the words
"Someone should tell her to shut up"
You laugh and try to hide it with a cough
And my friend taps my arm and says,
"You know, you two are so in love"
And I say
"But his girlfriends waiting outside the door
Ready to pull him close
And whisper she loves him in his ear
And put her arms around the boy Id give anything to hold
I find Im in a lose-lose situation here
Id love to but the last thing I can do is interfere
And shes so beautiful, something I cant be
Standing next to her I feel so damn unpretty
I bet thats what he sees"
As he passed me in the hall
I whispered, "meet me after school"
I ran away before he could say
That he had better things to do
But 2:30 in the afternoon
I cant believe my eyes
I see him waiting there for me
And shes nowhere in sight
But I know
His girlfriends waiting by his car
Ready to pull him close
And whisper she loves him in his ear
And put her arms around the boy Id give anything to hold
I find Im in a lose-lose situation here
Id love to but the last thing I can do is interfere
And shes beautiful, the one thing I cant be
Standing next to her, she makes me feel so unpretty
But is that what he sees?
I say to you, "I guess that I should go"
And you say, "Thats it?
So then what did you want to meet me for?"
And I cant stop the words from slipping away
"Because your girlfriends waiting there for you
Ready to hold you close
Whisper she loves you in your ear
And put her arms around the boy Im dying to hold
I find Im in a lose-lose situation here
I want to love you but I cannot interfere
And shes so beautiful, like I could never be
Standing next to her, she makes me feel unpretty
And I know that its her you love, not me
And I bet that shes the only girl youll ever see"
I turn to walk away
My words still hanging there between us
But he reaches out and takes my hand
And says, "Now its your turn to listen"
"Ive loved you since the moment
You first walked into my life
But I didnt know if you felt the same
And I wasnt even sure you knew I was alive
And I dont really love her
I promise you I never will
But she asked me out, and I said yes
And now Im sorry that I did"
So then he says to her
"I know youve been waiting by my car
And Ive come to let you know
That Im sorry but I cant be with you
Because theres this girl, and I love her so
I know youre in a lose-lose situation here
Yeah, I know you want me still but please try not to interfere
And shes the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen
Shes the queen of my heart and the princess of my dreams
And she completes me"
