Her name was Stephanie something
|
She lived out in Richville, right off of Portland
|
I'm talking bout back in the ninth grade
|
Still had a pony tail, couldn't grow a high fade
|
Used to take the 5 way out to the suburbs
|
Waitin at the bus stop, there was my lovebird
|
She would get on, sit down, scoot me over
|
And smile with a jheri curl restin on my shoulder
|
And we would hit the mall together
|
Maybe hold each other's hand or share a Dr. Pepper
|
And all we ever did was kiss, no sex
|
But in our defense, there was never any stress
|
|
On the phone late at night when I'm supposed to be in bed
|
Mama doesn't know I'm talking to Lynette
|
I had a lot of sweet nothing to say
|
You could say a whole lot of nothing has changed to this day
|
We was fourteen, but she had breasts
|
Although we was both too young for anything sexual
|
Just wanted her to know that she was special
|
She used to write me notes, do you like me, yes no?
|
And I don't know if it was practice for later
|
But both of us would break up back to spend time together
|
I don't ever remember trying to make her feel bad
|
Back then we didn't see things like that
|
|
There used to be a spot called the Boulevard theatre
|
And as a kid when a movie came out I would see it there
|
Sneakin in to the R-rated feature
|
I think I was fifteen, that's how I met Lisa
|
She showed up with a group of fly girls
|
So me and my crew was in superfly world
|
After the flick we all went outside
|
Paired off, took a walk into that night
|
I can't imagine that happening now
|
The inner sense is gone and all the magic ran out
|
I wonder if my son will get to understand the fun
|
That comes from the summer with the one you call the one
|
|
There used to a be a fear and a nervousness
|
But back then it wasn't cause of domestic disturbances
|
It used to just hurt your heart
|
But now it's not enough until it rips the universe apart
|
Got to see a lot of love when I was a kid
|
Heartbreak made me wanna die but I never did
|
So this is for my own babysitter,
|
Wanted to sneak out and fall asleep by the lake with ya
|
Smells like candy, felt like family
|
For every girl that ever held me in the back seat
|
Used to vision being love struck with em
|
Till I got blindsided by these grown-up women
