I Left My Baby

«Are you going to the party on Saturday?,» she asked as if I didn’t know
See ever since I saw you on the back of some guy’s bicycle
Well, I’ve been feeling kinda so-so
So, girl don’t act so surprised
Got that look in your light-blue eyes, you can stop pretending
Yeah, I been watching the movie all along
Wondering if there was gonna be an ending
To the story, to the story, to the story — I guess I’ll never know
See, I was running as fast as I could
Saying the things I thought I should, but it was just a little too slow
Oh, Elizabeth, don’t keep me guessin'
I opened up the door and saw you undressing
The words came out, one after another
You shoulda been my high school lover, oh
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah
You shoulda been my Oh-oh-oh
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah
You shoulda been my Oh-oh
«Did you get the letters that I sent last summer?,»
You asked again and again
Well, they been piling up on the top shelf in my closet
Yeah, and I read them every now and then
It’s got me feeling kinda stuck like «What the fuck is going on?
Someone tell me what is happening»
Yeah, you been acting like you’re too cool for far too long
It’s ok, it’s just kind of embarassing
See, I been sneaking, I been sneaking, I been sneaking
Wondering just what I’ll see
You turned around and stared
You squinted then you glared and I was leaning back in the passenger seat
Oh, Elizabeth, don’t keep me guessin'
I opened up the door and saw you undressing
The words came out, one after another
You shoulda been my high school lover, oh
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah
You shoulda been my Oh-oh-oh
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah
You shoulda been my Oh-oh
High school lover
High school lover
High school lover
High school lover
High school lover
High school lover
High school lover
High school lover
