The Saturday Boy Lyrics

I'll never forget the first day I met her That September morning was clear and fresh The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes The way she rubbed herself Against the edge of my desk She became a magic mystery to me And we'd sit together in double History twice a week And some days we'd walk the same way home And it's surprising how quick A little rain can clear the streets We dreamed of her and compared our dreams But that was all that I ever tasted She lied to me with her body you see And I lied to myself 'bout the chances I'd wasted The times that we were close Were far and few between In the darkness at the dances in the school canteen Did she close her eyes as I did When we held each other tight And la la means I love you She danced with me and I still hold that memory Soft and sweet And I stare up at her window As I walk down her street But I never made the first team, I just made the first team laugh And she never came to the phone, She was always in the bath In the end it took me a dictionary To find out the meaning of unrequited While she was giving herself for free At a party to which I was never invited I never understood my failings then And I hide my humble hopes now Thinking back she made us want her A girl not old enough to shave her legs
