Ice-T - Passing Me By lyrics
Now in my younger days I used to sport a shag When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss Always got mad when the class was dismissed But when it was in session, I always had a question I would raise my hand to make her staggerto my desk And help me with my problem, it was never much Just a trick, to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug She was married to the man, he was a thug His name was Lee, he drove a Z He'd pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock I was on her jock, yes indeedy, I wrote graffiti on the bus First I'd write her name then carve a plus With my name last, on the looking glass I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' When I dream of fairy tales I think of me and Shelly See she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me That I should quit chasin" and lookfor something better But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her I just play by the ear and hope she gets the picture I'm shootin" for her heart, got my finger on the trigger She could be my broad, and I could be her nigga But, all I can do is stare back As kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare Now she's more sophisticated, highly edumacated Not at all over-rated, I think I need a prayer To get in her book and it looks rather dry I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye Although she's crazy steppin", I'll try to stop her stride 'Cause I won't have no more of this passin' me by Time for me to voice my opinion of not even pretendin' she didn't have me Strung like a chicken, chase my tail like a doggie She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan Dude, she looked good, down side, she had a man He was a rooty-toot, a nincompoop She told me, "Soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop" She was a flake like corn, and I was born not to understand By lettin' her pass. I had proved to be a better man She keeps on passin me by (Passin'me by) She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' me by (Passin" me by) She keeps on passin' me Now there she goes again, the dopiest Ethiopian And now the world around me begets movin" in slow motion Whenever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try? Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistence And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existence From a distance I desired her, secretly admired her Wired her a letter to get her, and it went My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me But I know you very well Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I symp Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp! 'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so And if I was your man then I would be true The only lying I would do is in the bed with you Then I signed sincerely, The one who loves you dearly P.S. love me tender The letter came back three days later 'Return to sender, damn! She keeps on passin me by She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' Passin" me by, passin' me by She keeps passin' me by She keeps passin' me by She keeps passin' me by |
