I don't want to seem pushy
I don't want to get in the way
But before you leave for college
could you love me for just one day
Being the dumb frosh I am
I had to break the biggest rule
Go against what my friends said
fall for a senior in the school
I know I never told you
but I tried to show you somehow
But my shyness would be there
and I hope its not to late now
The time is getting so near
I don't want you to go away
I know I can say these words now
just for a minute will you stay
I don't want to seem pushy
I don't want to get in the way
I've known you since the beginning
but words I could never say
Please don't walk out the door
The words are coming now
I'll get them out somehow
Please wait, please stay
listen to what I have to say
I've known you since school started
All my friends said I was so dumb
But you know how much I loved you
finally, those words have come
But you just keep on walking
You didn't hear at all
I said it way to softly
And you didn't hear at all
Oh, why did I waste this year
I should have said it all along
I listened to my friends
I missed it, and I was dumb
Please I don't want to seem pushy
I don't want to get in the way
I know I've waited to long now
I love you and you can't stay
