Catch 22 - Kristina She Don't Know I Exist Lyrics

Not long ago in my high school days
I watched a girl from so far away
But every time she passed me by
I turned my head away and quietly sighed
And when she walked by
Her hair would dance a secret tango
That only I could understand
And if she asked me for the time of day
I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say

Ooh Kristina, Kristina
Do you have any clue who I am?
(Hell no)
So listen up because I'll tell you once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can
Ooh Kristina, Kristina
You don't know me so I'll have to persist
I'm kind of shy so don't wonder why
Kristina she don't know I exist

From class to class I followed her
But I swore I'd leave her undisturbed
And if she ever stopped and turned around
I got so nervous and I stared at the ground
And then one day in photography
I found a contact print that I could not believe
And there she was staring back at me
So I took her home so quietly

1.17.98 it's been a day that I've come to hate
As I walked into the video store
There she stood as my jaw fell to the floor
Tapping her toe waiting in line
With a movie and another guy
Why did I bother?
Why did I care about this girl named Kristina Behr?
Kristina, Kristina
You'll never get to know who I am
This is goodbye so please don't cry
And I'll let you down as softly as I can
Kristina, Kristina
Another name to cross off my list
In another life it could have been nice
But Kristina she won't know what she missed
