Molly Ringwald where are you? Tongue-in-Cheek look at a star crossed high school love interest, and a nod to that age of "innocence" known as the 80's.
This song idea was hatched spontaneously in one sitting during a break from recording another long forgotten song. One minute we had a cheesy guitar riff, then next minute....genius.
Scott's keyboard solo would surely make Jan Hammer proud.
lyrics
Saw her down the hallway just the other day
High school prom queen and she's only five lockers away
I wanna tell her how I feel but I know I can't
So I stand here silently waiting for my chance
But now I gotta mop the halls
And clean out all the stalls
Until I hear the morning school bell ring
Yeah I gotta sweep the floors
And wash all the blackboards
Teenage luv, it's such a painful thing
I wonder if she'd think I was the ultimate catch
In a letter jacket instead of these overalls with my name on a patch
Now she's walking toward me just like a dream
Suddenly I feel so naked behind the floor buffing machine
I know I love her
I really need her
I gotta have her
How do I get her?
