I never asked for nothing, just took what was granted
Cuz my looks met the standards, but walkin` with books in my hands
And, tryna talk to a girl...just wasn`t me
You know, the shy kid in the back of the class, under-cover geek
With crooked teeth, and smile that would light up the day
But, rarely did anyone`s smile come my way
Or the high way, so I got used to digestin` the frowns
Tryna talk to people who just walked by with their head in the clouds
They called it, stuck up, I called it, if only I was part of the in-crowd
I`d be able to ask that popular girl to sit down
With me at lunch and possibly conversate for a while
About the finer things in life, get a date and a smile
Yes! But no, all I get is that stare
The one that means who are you, if only she cared
She wouldn`t have to give me anything, just the time of day
To get to know me, and let my charm blow her mind away
She don`t have to give me her number, as long as she talks to me
She don`t have to give me her hand, when we walk to street
She don`t have to give me a hug, or a kiss
She don`t even have to give me a chance...but shit
That doesn`t mean I wouldn`t like it
Cuz I would, but I don`t wanna take a shot, I fear that I might miss
Still, I left my books on my desk, started walkin`
Toward her, put my low self esteem in my back pocket
Tapped her on the back, she gave me that look, I said hi
Asked her what her name was, and if she had the time
She told me, I stood there frozen, just starin`
Thought in the back of my mind, maybe she wouldn`t mind sharin`
Shot the 3 pointer, cleared my throat, could you give me a break?
Score!, she broke me off a piece of her Kit Kat, thanks
