Schoolboy Blues from TKY by Yo-Yo & the Chaplain

I see happy couples rolling, strolling down each avenue
And I can't help but wish a little bit that it was me with you
But if I think to try a move on you, I get so misconstrued
I might as well just say “The hell with it!” and go on being rude

Chorus:
A-like a playground flirty, I push you down and dirty
No matter what you say, I still don't wanna play
And when I try and trip you, it's 'cause I wanna kiss you
And when I'm pulling on your hair, it's just 'cause I don't want to stare
At you...whoa, at you

I am just a boy at heart, I start to try to act the man
But I don't know how to do that now, I don't know if I can
What if I tried a suave attempt to just discreetly take your hand
It's just a tease, though if you please, instead I knocked your books and ran

Chorus

But if I could find the words to say
I'd sure like to take you out to play
Would you agree to join me now, to stay,
Or would you send me spiteful on my way?

So I guess I'll keep on waiting, hating my tongue all knotted tight
And if I speak, I'll be so weak, I'll just go and pick a fight
Could you see through my schoolboy ruse and get my motives right?
Or am I bound to make you frown, or start off in fright?
