Passin' Me By

She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan

Damn, she looked good, downside, she had a man

He was a rooty-toot, a nincompoop

She told me soon your little birdy's gonna fly the coop

She was a flake like corn, and I was born not to understand

By letting her pass I proved to be a better man

She keeps on passing me by (passing me by)

She keeps on passing me by

(Nevertheless, I'll say it again)

She keeps on passing me by

(Nevertheless, I'll say it again) (passing me by)

She keeps on passing me

Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian

And now the world around me begins moving in slow motion

Whenever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye

Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try?

Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistence

And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existence

From a distance I desired her, secretly admired her

Wired her a letter to get her, and it went

My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well

Now let me tell you 'bout the feelings I have for you

When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I simp

Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp

'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so

And if I was your man then I would be true

The only lying I would do is in the bed with you

Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly, PS love me tender

But the letter came back three days later, return to sender

Damn, damn, damn

She keeps on passing me by

She keeps on passing me by

(Nevertheless, I'll say it again)

She keeps on passing me by

(Nevertheless, I'll say it again)

She keeps on passing me by

(Nevertheless, I'll say it again)

She keeps on passing

(Nevertheless, I'll say it again)

Passing me by (say it again)

(But nevertheless)

(But nevertheless)

(But nevertheless, I'll say it again)

She keeps passing me by

She keeps passing me by (I'll say it again)

She keeps passing me by

She keeps passing me by (I'll say it again)

She keeps passing me by

She keeps passing me by (I'll say it again)

She keeps passing me by

She keeps passing me by (I'll say it again)
