Lyrics
Sk8er Boi
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore 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
And 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 your pretty face see what 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 your pretty face see what 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 has in inside
He's just a boy and I'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore 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 backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About the girl you used to know
I'm with the skater boy
I said, "See you later, boy"
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About the girl you used to know
