Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox
Sk8er Boi
[Verse 1]
He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, but she'd never tell
But secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends, they stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
[Chorus 1]
He was a skater boy, she said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
[Verse 2]
Five years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby, she's all alone
She turns on TV, and guess who she sees
Skater boy rocking up MTV
She calls up her friends, they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along, stands in the crowd
Looks up at the skater boy that she turned down
[Chorus 2]
He was a skater boy, she said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
[Bridge]
Sorry, girl, but you missed out
Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There's too much that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
[Verse 3]
He's just a boy, I'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
We are in love, haven't you heard
How we rock each others world?
[Chorus 3]
I'm with the skater boy, I said, "See you later, boy"
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at a studio, singing the song we wrote
About a girl he used to know
[Chorus 3]
I'm with the skater boy, I said, "See you later, boy"
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at a studio, singing the song we wrote
About a girl that you ove knew
I'm with the skater boy
