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 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 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 her up from school promptly at 3 O'clock

I was on her jock, yes indeed-y, 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 chasing and look for something 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 shooting for her heart, got my finger on the trigger

She could be my broad and I could be her ****

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 educated

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 stepping, I'll try and stop her stride

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

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

Sprung like a chicken, chasing my tail like a doggy

She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan

Dude, she looked good, down side, she had a man

He was 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 letting her pass I had 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 passing me

Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian

And now the world around me be just moving in slow motion when

Ever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye

Overlook and disregard my feeling 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, secretly admired her

Wired her a letter to get her and it went

My dear, 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 have 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 signed sincerely, the one who loves you dear, PS love me tender

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