0:14He was a boy, she was a girl
0:17Can I make it any more obvious?
0:20He was a punk, she did ballet
0:24What more can I say?
0:27He wanted her
0:28She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well
0:33But all of her friends stuck up their nose
0:36They had a problem with his baggy clothes
0:40He was a skater boy
0:41She said see you later boy
0:43He wasn't good enough for her
0:46She had a pretty face but her head was up in space
0:49She needed to come back down to earth
0:56Five years from now
0:57She sits at home
0:59Feeding the baby she's all alone
1:02She turns on TV
1:04Guess who she sees
1:05Skater boy rockin' up MTV
1:08She calls up her friends
1:10They already know
1:12And they've all got tickets to see his show
1:15She tags along stands in the crowd
1:18Looks up at the man that she turned down
1:23He was a skater boy
1:24She said see you later boy
1:26He wasn't good enough for her
1:29Now he's a super star slamming on his guitar
1:33Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
1:36He was a skater boy
1:37She said see you later boy
1:39He wasn't good enough for her
1:42Now he's a super star slamming on his guitar
1:45Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
1:52♪
2:04Sorry girl but you missed out
2:08Well tough luck that boy's mine now
2:11We are more than just good friends
2:14This is how the story ends
2:17Too bad that you couldn't see
2:20See the man that boy could be
2:24There is more that meets the eye
2:27I see the soul that is inside
2:30He's just a boy and I'm just a girl
2:33Can I make it any more obvious?
2:36We are in love
2:38Haven't you heard
2:40How we rock each other's world
2:44I'm with the skater boy
2:46I said see you later boy
2:48I'll be back stage after the show
2:51I'll be at the studio
2:52Singing the song we wrote
2:54About a girl you used to know
2:57I'm with the skater boy
2:59I said see you later boy
3:01I'll be back stage after the show
3:03I'll be at the studio
3:05Singing the song we wrote
3:07About a girl you used to know
3:12♪
