Her name is Noel
I have a dream about her

I got gym class in half an hour
Oh how she rocks
In Keds and tube socks

But she doesn't know who I am
And she doesn't give a damn about me

Her boyfriend's a dick
He brings a gun to school

My ass if he knew the truth
He lives on my block
And he drives an IROC
But he doesn't know who I am

Man I feel like mold

Lo and behold

How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about me?
