i never really tried to be rich or popular
i didnt study hard
or pass the tests
or make too many friends

when i hung out with Son
we'd sit in front of the computer
he talked about big dreams
i really only wanted just to fall in love

and as i stood alone
as i rode my bike
id pass ball jr high
the memories came back like a flood
and i couldnt help but write

and when Lisa
had captured my sight
and when Alex
made me feel alright
and when Shin-chan
held my heart so tight
and when in the end
the feelings left me behind
i couldnt help but write

im a poet

im not a banker
not the president of anything
no queen
im not the star
my webpage isnt popular

im a poet

and when i fell in love with Amanda
and when we gave our hearts to eachother
and when i had my first kiss with her
and when we knew we wanted to always be together
i couldnt help but write
