She was just a girl in school I saw from afar

She had everything I wanted all I wanted was to catch her heart

But I was tongue-tied silly couldn't find my feet beneath me

How could a girl like that walk by and not see through me?

But I've got my hopes high I'm keeping it real

Every word she says to me is gold

If I could get past the walls of my mind

Got her number but didn't call the phone

But that was fifteen years ago

If I knew what I know maybe I could have shown her

Flowers and candy and sure I could be something more than a dream as I'm looking out there

I want to find Mandie be more than she needs than the air that she breathes

And I guarantee

That if I found Mandy that I could make her happy

The years pass by and I hear she's married and gone

I hear she made it out west with a man I wish I didn't know

And it drives me crazy just to know he made the leap before me

Now I'm staring at the past wishing I had a time machine

When she comes to town man she's just as pretty as the day I first saw her face

Though everything's changed well nothing has changed

When she walks in the room

I'm still falling in place

Like it was fifteen years ago

If I knew what I know maybe I could have shown her

Flowers and candy and sure I could be something more than a dream as I'm looking out there

I want to find Mandie be more than she needs than the air that she breathes

And I guarantee

That if I found Mandie I could make her happy

Make her happy

And pull her hair back kiss her on her neck

Then love all around but she leads me back

To the home she wants to then we go down to homecoming

Like it was fifteen years ago

If I knew what I know now maybe I could have shown her

Flowers and candy and sure I could be something more than a dream as I'm looking out there

I want to find Mandie be more than she needs than the air that she breathes

And I guarantee

That if I found Mandie I could make her happy

Mandie

I could make her happy
