♪ I remember that it's the first time that I saw her there ♪

♪ She's getting kicked out of school 'cause she's failing ♪

♪ I'm kinda nervous, 'cause I think all her friends hate me ♪

♪ She's the one, she'll always be there ♪

♪ She took my hand and I made it I swear ♪

♪ 'Cause I fell in love with the girl at the rock show ♪

♪ She said what, and I told her that I didn't know ♪

♪ She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window ♪

♪ Everything's better when she's around ♪
