It's always been up to your friends
They'll make your mind up for you
The popularity's gone to your head
But still I don't ignore you
You ran for school election
You even got my vote
And did you know?
My favourite pastime's poetry
And yesterday I wrote

Just because I'm nerdy
And my friends are thirty
It doesn't mean that I swing that way
If you've got complications
And a reputation
Wouldn't wanna get in your way
Oh anyway

This morning you walked past my door
Just like a daydream
But much more
I followed you round to the store
And I was shell-shocked
When I saw
You and your friends were smoking
It always makes me choke
And did you know?
I'd do anything to have you
But I wouldn't take a toke
Hey

Just because I'm nerdy
And my friends are thirty
It doesn't mean that I swing that way
If you've got complications
And a reputation
Wouldn't wanna get in your way
Oh anyway

Anyway, anyway yeah

You said my words were beautiful
They almost made you cry
The markings on the wall were jaded
I wonder why?

Just because you're nerdy
And your friends are thirty
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
If she's got complications
And a reputation
Go ahead and stand in her way

Just because you're nerdy
And your friends are thirty
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
If she's got complications
And a reputation
Go ahead and stand in her way
But anyway
Anyway
Anyway
