Ballad of a High School Boy Lyrics

Oh you're going to the movies again without me

I have feelings for you I wish that you could see

But he beat me to your locker

So I couldn't ask you out tonight

I'm hoping that he treats you rough

So I have a chance to fight

Then I could rush in and save the day

Sweeping in as your Superman

So tonight I'll write my masterpiece

Tomorrow I will implement my plan to save you

Yes, I'll ask you

Now I hear you're going to his place after school

But only because I couldn't be late that's the rule

But when the class bell rang

I knew that I would have had time

To read you that silly poem

That took me all night long to rhyme

It would have swept you off your feet

By design I would catch you in my arms

But tomorrow will be a better day

Tonight I will rewrite it and by a rose for you

And he'll be through

Now it's morning but you didn't report to school

Rumor has it he broke your heart, he wasn't cool

But then you showed up

Walking down the hallway during second hour

And you told the girls you were his girlfriend

And he bought you flowers

I'm wishing, wishing, wishing, wishing, wishing

You were mine tonight

I'm hoping, hoping, hoping, hoping, hoping

It will turn out right
