I want to be the boy that warms your mother's heart
  I'm so scared to take you away
  I tried to win her over right from the start
  But something always got in the way
  We've been sitting in your backyard for hours
  But she won't even come out and say hi
  While my mother baked a little cake for you
  And even dreaded when you said goodbye
  What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?
  What kind of joke should I lay on her now?
  I'm inclined to go finish high school
  Just to make her notice that I'm around
    Well nothing I come up with seems to work
  It feels like everything I say is a lie
  And never have a felt like such a jerk
  I'm afraid to even open my eyes
  Because I really don't want her to judge me
  I want to her really know who I am
  And then, and only then she will love me
  Well at least that was the plan
    If ever a boy needed a holiday
  If ever a girl needed someone to hold
  I just hope I don't act the same way
  By the time that I get old
    I never said I was the heir to a fortune
  I never claimed to have any looks
  But these kind of things must be important
  Because somebody ripped out my page
  In your telephone book
    I want to warm her heart
