about

If you snooze- you lose. Especially where love is concerned.

lyrics

I'm just a boy who's crazy 'bout a girl
who's crazy about the only friend I have in this world
and I don't what to do- i don't know what to say
to make this whole thing okay

she works down at the corner coffee shop
a skip. and a jump and a little hop from my nine to five
every morning she bids me hello and says
here you go
and hands me a perfectly constructed cappuccino with an extra sweet and low
she makes me feel alive

I'm just a boy who's crazy 'bout a girl
who's crazy about the only friend I have in this world
and I don't what to do- i don't know what to say
to make this whole thing okay

i'm just a boy who's suffering discreetly
because the one i love so truly and completely
is with my oldest friend so I smile and pretend that every thing is okay

every day in the mirror i'd say aloud
"today's the day I ask her out"
every morning i'd chicken out
then a awful twist of fate
had my buddy go out for a cup of joe
their eyes met and she said hello
i waited much too late

I'm just a boy who's crazy 'bout a girl
who's crazy about the only friend I have in this world
and I don't what to do- i don't know what to say
to make this whole thing okay

i'm just a boy who's suffering discreetly
because the one i love truly and completely
is with my oldest friend so I smile and pretend that every thing is okay

why did i keep it to myself
now she's off with someone else
i'm a thinker not a talker
why must i live with this damn curse
but i think its even worse
I might turn into a stalker

I'm just a boy who's crazy 'bout a girl
who's crazy about the only friend I have in this world
and I don't what to do- i don't know what to say
to make this whole thing okay

i'm just a boy who's suffering discreetly
because the one i love truly and completely
is with my oldest friend so I smile and pretend that everything is okay
