[00:00.00]Passin Me By - The Phyarcyde
[00:12.82]Written by：John Boone
[00:25.64]Now in my younger days I used to sport a shag
[00:28.76]When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag
[00:30.88]With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss
[00:33.44]Always got mad when the class was dismissed
[00:36.61]But when it was in session I always had a question
[00:39.35]I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and
[00:42.16]Help me with my problem it was never much
[00:44.59]Just a trick to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch
[00:47.38]Oh how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug
[00:51.44]She was married to the man he was a thug
[00:53.56]His name was Lee he drove a Z
[00:55.37]He'd pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock
[00:57.74]I was on her jock yes indeedy I wrote graffiti on the bus
[01:02.11]First I'd write her name then carve a plus
[01:04.11]With my name last on the looking glass
[01:06.54]I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass
[01:12.51]She keeps on passin me by
[01:32.24]When I dream of fairytales I think of me and Shelly
[01:33.99]See she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me
[01:37.15]That I should quit chasin' and look for something better
[01:39.20]But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter
[01:42.42]I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her
[01:45.04]I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture
[01:47.73]I'm shootin for her heart got my finger on the trigger
[01:50.59]She could be my broad and I could be her (ni**a)
[01:53.90]But all I can do is stare
[01:56.33]Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare
[01:59.08]Now she's more sophisticated highly edu-ma-cated
[02:02.01]Not at all over-rated I think I need a prayer
[02:04.52]To get in her boots and it looks rather dry
[02:06.82]I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye
[02:09.88]Although she's crazy steppin I'll try to stop her stride
[02:12.63]Cause I won't have no more of this passin me by
[02:15.29]Time for me to voice my opinion of not even pretendin she didn't have me
[02:18.23]Strung like a chicken chase my tail like a doggie
[02:20.53]She was kind of like a star thinking I was like a fan
[02:23.72]Dude she looked good down side: she had a man
[02:26.53]He was a rooty-toot a nincompoop
[02:29.15]She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop
[02:31.77]She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand
[02:35.18]By lettin her pass I had proved to be a better man
[02:40.77]She keeps on passin me by
[03:10.66]Now there she goes again the dopest Ethiopian
[03:12.22]And now the world around me be gets movin in slow motion
[03:15.54]When-ever she happens to walk by - why does the apple of my eye
[03:19.09]Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try
[03:21.41]Wait no i did not really pursue my little princess with persistance;
[03:25.00]And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existance
[03:27.80]From a distance I desired secretly admired her;
[03:31.11]Wired her a letter to get her and it went:
[03:32.65]My dear my dear my dear you do not know me but I know you very well
[03:35.96]Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you
[03:38.48]When I try or make some sort of attempt I symp
[03:40.78]Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp
[03:43.15]'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so
[03:45.71]And if I was your man then I would be true
[03:47.12]The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
[03:49.11]Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly PS love me tender
[03:51.64]The letter came back three days later: Return to Sender
[03:55.70]Damn
[03:57.99]She keeps on passin me by
