Passin' Me By - Hot Chip Remix

Now in my younger days I used to sport a shag
 When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag
 With an apple for my teacher cause I knew Id get a kiss
 Always got mad when the class was dismissed
 But when it was in session, I always had a question
 I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and
 Help me with my problem, it was never much
 Just a trick, to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch
 Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug
 She was married to the man, he was a thug,
 His name was lee, he drove a z,
 Head pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock
 I was on her jock, yes indeedy I wrote graffiti on the bus
 First Id write her name then carve a plus,
 With my name last, on the looking glass,
 I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass
 She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing
 When I dream of fairy tales I think of me and shelly
 See shes my type of hype and I cant stand when brothers tell me
 That I should quit chasing and look for something better
 But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter
 I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her
 I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture
 I'm shooting for her heart, got my finger on the trigger
 She could be my broad, and I could be her (nigga)
 But, all I can do is stare,
 Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare
 Now shes more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated
 Not at all over-rated, I think I need a prayer
 To get in her boots and it looks rather dry
 I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye
 Although shes crazy stepping, Ill try to stop her stride
 Cause I wont have no more of this passing me by
 And I must voice my opinion of not even pretending she didn't have me
 Strung like a chicken, chase my tail like a doggie
 She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan
 Dude, she looked good, down side, she had a man
 He was a rooty-toot, a nincompoop
 She told me soon your little birdies gonna fly the coop
 She was a flake like corn, and I was born not to understand
 By letting her pass I had proved to be a better man
 She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing
 Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian
 And now the world around me be gets moving in slow motion
 When-ever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye
 Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try?
 Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistance,
 And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existance
 From a distance I desired, secretly admired her,
 Wired her a letter to get her, and it went,
 My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well
 Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you
 When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I symp
 Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp!
 Cause then I would let you know that I love you so
 And if I was your man then I would be true
 The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
 Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly, PS love me tender
 The letter came back three days later, return to sender
 Damn!
 She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing
