He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, she'd never tell
secretly she wanted him as well.
But all of her friends stuck up their nose
and they had a problem with his baggy clothes.

He was a skater boy, she said see ya 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.

Five years from now, she sits at home
feeding the baby, she's all alone
she turns on TV
guess who she sees
skater boy rockin' up MTV.
she calls up her friends, they already know
and they've all got tickets to see his show
she tags along and stands in the crowd
looks up at the man that she turned down.

He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enough for her
now he's a superstar
slamin' on his guitar
does your pretty face see what he's worth?

He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enough for her
now he's a super star
slamin' on his guitar
does your pretty face see what he's worth?

Sorry girl but you missed out
well tough luck that boys 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 is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy, and 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

I'm with a skater boy, I said see ya later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
singing the song we wrote
about a girl he used to know

I'm with a skater boy, I said see ya later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at his studio
singing the song we wrote
about a girl he used to know
