The lyrics:

He was a boy, she was a girl


Can I make it any more obvious?

He was a punk, she did/doing ballet


What more can I say?

He wanted her, she'd never tell


secretly she wanted/want him as well

But her all friends/ all of her friends, stuck up their nose
They have/had a problem with his baggy clothes...

He was a skater boy


She said "see ya later boy"
He wasn't enough good/good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her/she’s head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

Five years to/from now, she sits at home


Feeding/Feed the baby, she's all alone
She turns on TV, guess who she sees/sees she
Skater boy rocking/rock on MTV

She calls/call up her friends, they already know


And they've all got tickets seeing/to see his show

She tags along, stands in the crowd


Looks up at the man that she turned/turns down

He was a skater boy


She said "see ya later boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Slammin on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

Sorry girl, but you missed out


Well, tough luck that boy's mine/my now

We are more then/than just good friends


This is how ends the story/how the story ends

Too bad/Too badly that you couldn't see


See the man that boy could be

There is more than meets/sees the eye


I see the soul that/what is inside

He's just a boy and I'm just a girl


Can I make it anymore obvious?

We are in love, haven't/didn’t you heard


How we rock each others world!

I'm with the skater boy


I said "see ya later boy"
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl he used to/did know.

[Chorus]
