[Verse 1]
"Are you going to the party on Saturday?," she asked as if I didn't know
See ever since I saw you on the back of some guy's bicycle
Well, I've been feeling kinda so-so
So, girl don't act so surprised
Got that look in your light-blue eyes, you can stop pretending
Yeah, I been watching the movie all along
Wondering if there was gonna be an ending
To the story, to the story, to the story - I guess I'll never know
See, I was running as fast as I could
Saying the things I thought I should, but it was just a little too slow
[Chorus]
Oh, Elizabeth, don't keep me guessin'
I opened up the door and saw you undressing
The words came out, one after another
You shoulda been my high school lover, oh
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah
You shoulda been my Oh-oh-oh
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah
You shoulda been my Oh-oh
[Verse 2]
"Did you get the letters that I sent last summer?,"
You asked again and again
Well, they been piling up on the top shelf in my closet
Yeah, and I read them every now and then
It's got me feeling kinda stuck like "What the f*ck is going on?
Someone tell me what is happening"
Yeah, you been acting like you're too cool for far too long
It's ok, it's just kind of embarassing
See, I been sneaking, I been sneaking, I been sneaking
Wondering just what I'll see
You turned around and stared
You squinted then you glared and I was leaning back in the passenger seat
[Chorus]
Oh, Elizabeth, don't keep me guessin'
I opened up the door and saw you undressing
The words came out, one after another
You shoulda been my high school lover, oh
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah
You shoulda been my Oh-oh-oh
You shoulda been my Oh-ooo-woah
You shoulda been my Oh-oh
[Outro]
High school lover

High school lover

High school lover
