I want to be the boy t
hat warms your mother's heart
I'm so scared to take you away
I tried to win her over right
from the start
But something always got
in the way
We've been sitting
in your backyard for hours
But she won't even come out and say hi
While my mother
baked a little cake for you
And even dreaded when you said goodbye
What kind of cartwheels do
I have to pull?
What kind of joke should
I lay on her now?
I'm inclined to go finish high school
Just to make her notice that
I'm around
Well nothing I come up
with seems to work
It feels like everything
I say is a lie
And never have a felt
like such a jerk
I'm afraid to even open my eyes
Because I really don't want her
to judge me
I want to her really know
who I am
And then, and only then
she will love me
Well at least that was the plan
If ever a boy needed a holiday
If ever a girl
needed someone to hold
I just hope
I don't act the same way
By the time that I get old
I never said
I was the heir to a fortune
I never claimed to have any looks
But these kind of things
must be important
Because somebody ripped out my page
In your telephone book
I want to warm her heart
