I don't know why,
she keeps on passin' me by,
Maybe her eyes are just on some other guy,
and I'll forever be the fella on the side,
She passes me by...
As I hopped off the train, this shorty caught my eye,
I asked her for her name, she gave me no reply,
She left me standin' there, with arrows in my heart,
but yet and still i'm wanting her,
And later on that week while drivin' in my car,
I could have sworn I saw that shorty walkin' out the bar,
cause she passed at me, I was steppin' from afar,
Or is my young mind just wishing...
Chorus:
I don't know why,
she keeps on passin' me by,
Maybe her eyes are just on some other guy,
and I'll forever be the fella on the side,
She passes me by...
come back, come back, come back (x8)...
It gets so confusing, this game,
I met a lot of girls, but never felt this way,
I get strange pleasure though, from going through this pain,
and like a ghost I'm haunting her,
I often fantasize bout walkin' hand in hand,
but I don't know her name, or if she's got a man,
and the only thing, that gives me hope to stay,
Is maybe one day she'll notice me...
Chorus:
I don't know why,
she keeps on passin' me by,
maybe her eyes are just on some other guy,
and I'll forever be the fella on the side,
she passes me by...
