Lyrics : Passin’ Me By (Acapella)
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 cla** was dismissed
But when it was in session, I always had a question
I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and
Help me with my problem, it was never much
Just a trick, to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch
Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and 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 hеr up from school promptly at 3 o' clock
I was on her jock, yes indeedy, I wrote graffiti on thе bus
First I'd write her name then carve a plus
With my name last, on the looking gla**
I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pa**
She keeps on pa**in' me by
She keeps on pa**in' me by
She keeps on pa**in' me by
She keeps on pa**
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 haven't gone as far as askin' 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 could be my broad and I could be her n***a
But, all I can do was 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'll try and stop the stride
'Cause I won't have no more of this pa**in' me by
Time for me to voice my opinion, can't be pretendin' she didn't have me
Sprung like a chicken, chasin' my tail like a doggie
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 pa** I had proved to be a better man
She keeps on pa**in' me by
She keeps on pa**in' me by
She keeps on pa**in' me by
She keeps on pa**in' me
Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian
And now the world around me begins movin' in slow motion when-
Ever 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 about 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 lyin' I would do is in the bed with you"
Then I signed "Sincerely, the one who loves you dearly, PS Love Me Tender"
The letter came back three days later: Return to Sender
Damn, damn, damn
She keeps on pa**in' me by
