Music Geek

There was this kid that used to beat me up A pudgy kid, his name was Chuck Once he had some M&Ms And I asked if we could share Instead he pushed me off of my Big Wheel I skinned my knee and he rode off And then when I was walking home A bee stung me on my head I stopped playin' outside that week Instead, I listened to my Walkman incessantly And that's the reason I'm a music geek It never stole a Big Wheel from me In sixth grade I always dreaded lunch I could never find a place to sit and munch There was this kid named Bo Who once let me sit with him One day he interrogated me Found out I had a crush on Tara Weatherby He told the entire school When she found out she laughed at me I stopped tryin' to make friends that week Instead I listened to my Walkman incessantly And that's the reason I'm a music geek It never points and laughs at me Who needs real friends When you can obsess over bands? Who needs human contact When you can hear what people sing about it? Now I'm in my mid-twenties And everybody's got nice stuff but me I still have social phobias But I'm workin' to get past them Maybe if I went out and booked a few more shows And got a record deal and made some videos On second thought, I think I'll stay inside With my girl and sing songs for her Cause she's in love with me She loves to download mp3s And she's in love with a music geek She likes me for me
