I’m sitting at home
i’m alone in the dark
listening to hard rain falling
and drinking dark rum
and thinking about
how met at high school
it was the summer of 82
love struck teenage fools
you were just fourteen
a popular girl
and the prettiest I’ve ever seen
but what would it matter
there’s no way you’d notice
a new boy like me
but one day it happened
a kiss on the bus
it came unexpected
it became about us
we sat there together
all the way to your stop
you got off on Collick Street
but you never looked back
at a new boy like me
you left my heart pounding
and feeling in love
but what were you feeling ?
i hoped it was for
an unlikely romance
with a new boy like me
love sometimes happens
you never know how
it comes unexpected
love sometimes happens
you never know why
it comes unexpected
love sometimes happens
you tell yourself once
it comes unexpected
love love love
mmmmmm
love love love
yeah yeah
somehow you noticed
a new boy like me
a new boy like me
like me
