I thought you were the greatest thing
the way you talked, the way you'd sing
the way that everyone seemed nicer when you were around
the way you touched my hand when you passed me the pipe
oh everything seemed all right
we were young and learning to have fun
and you taught me so much
I wanted you I wanted you so bad, so bad
I wanted you I wanted you so bad I didn't know just what to do
You stood on the table and took the erasers
and clapped them together by the smoke detector
and set off the fire alarm 'cause you were bored
so we all got out of class and we smoked cigarettes
hiding underneath the Big Toy and we didn't get caught
'cause we didn't give a fuck and neither did our parents
all they could do would be suspend us
and then we could stay home and make weird shit into bongs
like the traffic pylon we stole from the mall
that one time that we went there together
we were young and learning to have fun
and you taught me so much
I wanted you I wanted you so bad, so bad
I wanted you I wanted you so bad I didn't know just what to do
Stoner boy your pants are saggin' down
but it's not 'cause you're a prison bitch
it's because you're just to skinny and your hair's too long
and you're way too cool, too cool for this song
'cause we were young and learning to have fun
and you taught me so much
I wanted you I wanted you so bad, so bad
I wanted you I wanted you
so bad I didn't know just what I had
just what I had
Stoner boy your pants are saggin' down
but it's not 'cause you're a prison bitch
it's because you're just to skinny and your hair's too long
and you're way too cool, too cool for this song
