Baby, baby how was I to know that
I would become one of those people
that you read about in the paper
driven by a sad obsession

I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...

it was years of observation
and I didn't even know your name
till our very last semester
yeah you look just like a Charlie.

I will follow you around where you go, I will get to know you, if it drives me crazy, but...

I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...
no no no no

I didn't mean to stalk u, baby
not even at the art opening, baby
I guess your installations were pretty cool,
and so profound they were about Drew Barrymore.

time was short, I needed answers
to the questions running through my brain,
so I looked in the art department,
files of your history and assignments

I will follow you around where you go, I will get to know you if it drives me crazy, but..

I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...
no no no no

I didn't mean to stalk u, baby
not even like a Beatles fan, baby
I'd never let myself sneak-in your hotel room
but, maybe wait around until your class is through.

I was only seeking intimacy
as I politely asked you out,
what's that? you've got another lady,
I'll just keep seeing you in my fantasies..

I had finally prepared my heartfelt declaration of my absolute fixation
left to right I had written and poured out every bit of information that I had for you, but

I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk u...
no no no no

I didn't mean to stalk u, baby
not even at the art opening, baby
I guess your installations were pretty cool,
and so profound they were about Drew Barrymore
