[00:22.96] Now in my younger days I used to sport a sag [00:25.63] When I went to school I'd carry lunch in a bag [00:28.43] With a apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss [00:31.24] Always got mad when the class was dismissed [00:33.97] But when it was in session, I always had a question [00:36.85] I would raise my hand to make her stand close to my desk and [00:39.59] Help me with my problem, it was never much [00:42.28] Just a trick to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch [00:44.93] Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug [00:47.96] She was married to the man, he was a thug [00:51.20] His name was Lee, he drove a Z [00:53.57] He'd pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock [00:56.08] I was on her jock, yes indeedy, I wrote graffiti on the bus [00:59.41] First I'd write her name then carve a plus [01:01.87] With my name last on the looking glass [01:04.20] I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass [01:07.15] She keeps on passin' me by [01:10.34] She keeps on passin' me by [01:12.75] She keeps on passin' me by [01:15.57] She keeps on pass [01:29.67] When I dream of fairy tales, I think of me and Shelly [01:32.14] See she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me [01:34.97] That I should quit chasin' and look for something better [01:37.37] But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter [01:40.58] I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her [01:43.53] I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture [01:46.23] I'm shootin' for her heart, got my finger on the trigger [01:48.78] She could be my broad, and I could be her [01:52.06] All I can do is stare [01:53.92] Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare [01:57.07] Now she's more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated [01:59.42] Not at all overrated, I think I need a prayer [02:02.76] To get in her book and it looks rather dry [02:05.00] I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye [02:08.07] Although she's crazy steppin', I'll try to stop her stride [02:10.74] 'Cause I won't have no more of this passin' me by [02:13.96] Time for me to voice my opinion, can't be pretending she didn't have me [02:16.66] Sprung like a chicken, chasin' my tail like a doggie [02:19.51] She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan [02:22.19] Damn, she looked good, downside, she had a man [02:24.73] He was a rooty-toot, a nincompoop [02:27.32] She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop [02:29.87] She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand [02:33.32] By lettin' her pass I had proved to be a better man [02:36.03] She keeps on passin' me by [02:39.35] She keeps on passin' me by [02:41.33] She keeps on passin' me by [02:52.09] She keeps on passin' me [03:08.79] Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian [03:11.29] And now the world around me begins movin' in slow motion [03:13.76] Whenever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye [03:16.96] Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try? [03:19.83] Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistence [03:23.54] And I was so low key that she was unaware of my existence [03:26.34] From a distance I desired, secretly admired her [03:29.32] Wired her a letter to get her, and it went [03:31.57] My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me [03:33.28] But I know you very well [03:35.00] Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you [03:36.84] When I try or make some sort of attempt, I simp [03:39.90] Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp [03:41.67] 'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so [03:43.86] And if I was your man then I would be true [03:45.37] The only lying I would do is in the bed with you [03:47.67] Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly [03:48.83] P.S. love me tender [03:49.60] The letter came back three days later, return to sender, damn [03:53.33] She keeps on passin' me by [03:58.80] She keeps on passin' me by [04:04.32] She keeps on passin' me by [04:09.53] She keeps on passin' me by [04:15.14] She keeps on pass [04:20.84] She keeps passin' me by [04:22.71] She keeps passin' me by [04:24.26] She keeps passin' me by [04:26.38] She keeps passin' me by [04:29.36] She keeps passin' me by [04:33.09] She keeps passin' me by [04:35.28] She keeps passin' me by [04:36.75] She keeps passin' me by [04:50.48]
