Pork

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 I'd 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 stand, come to my desk

And help me with my problem, it was never much

Just a trick to smell her scent or try to sneak a touch

Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand or give her a hug

She was married to the man, he was a thug

His name was Lee, he drove a Z, he'd pick her up from school

Probably at three o'clock, I was on her jock

Yes, indeedy, I wrote graffiti on the bus

First I'd 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 passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on pass

When I dream of fairytales, I think of me and Shelly

See, she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me

That I should quit chasin' and look for somethin' better

But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter

I have been going as far as asking if I could get with her

I just play love by ear and hope she gets the picture

I'm shootin' for her heart, got my finger on the trigger

She can be my broad and I can be her nigga

But all I can do is stare

Back as kids we used to kiss when we played Truth or Dare

Now she's more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated

Not at all overrated, I think I need a prayer

To get in her book and it looks rather dry

I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye

Although she's crazy steppin', I try and stop the stride

'Cause I won't have no more of this passin' me by

And I must voice my opinion, can't be pretendin' she didn't have me

Sprung like a chicken, chase my tail like a doggy

She was kind of like a star, thinkin' I was like a fan

Dude, she looked good, downside, she had a man

He was a rooty-toot, a nincompoop

She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop

She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand

By lettin' her pass, I have proved to be a better man

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me

Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian

And now the world around me begins movin' in slow motion

Whenever 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 persistence

And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existence

From a distance, I desired her, 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 'bout the feelings I feel for you when I try

Or make some sort of attempt, I simp

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'd sign, 'Sincerely, the one who

Loves you dearly, P.S. Love me tender'"

But the letter came back three days later, return to sender

Damn, damn, damn

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me by (Woo)

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps on passin' me by

She keeps passin' me by (She keeps)

She keeps passin' me by (Da-da-da-da-doo-doo)
