Kristina She Don't Know I Exist

Not long ago in my high school days

I watched a girl from so far away

And every time she passed me by

I turned my head away and quietly sighed.

And when she walked by her hair would dance,

a secret tango that only I could understand

and if she asked for the time of day

I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say:

[Chorus]

Oh

Kristina Kristina

Do you have any clue who I am?

(hell no)

So listen up because I'll tell you once

and I'll explain myself the best that I can.

woah

Kristina Kristina

You don't know me so I'll have to persist.

I'm kind of shy so don't wonder why

Kristina she don't know I exist.

From class to class I followed her,

but I swore I'd leave her undisturbed

and if she ever stopped by and turned around

I got so nervous that I stared at the ground.

And then one day in photography

I found a contact print that I could not believe

and there she was staring back at me

so I took her home so quietly.

[Chorus]

1-17-98 it's been a day that I've come to hate.

As I walked into the video store

there she stood as my jaw fell to the floor.

Tapping her toe, and waiting in line,

with a movie and another guy

Why did I bother? Why did I care?

About this girl named Kristina Behr?

Kristina Kristina

You'll never get to know who I am.

(You're loss)

This is goodbye so please don't cry

and I'll let you down as softly as I can.

Kristina Kristina

another name to cross off my list.

In another life it could have been nice

but Kristina she won't know what she missed.
