She was underwhelmed, if that's a word 
I know it's not, 'cause I looked it up 
That's one of those skills that I learned in my school 

I was overwhelmed, and I'm sure of that one 
'cause I learned it back in grade school 
When I was young 

She said, "You is funny" 
I said, "You are funny" 
She said, "Thank you" 
and I said, "Nevermind" 
She rolled her eyes 
Her beautiful eyes 

The point is not the grammar 
It's the feeling 
That is certainly in my heart 
But not in hers 

But not in hers 
But not in hers 
But not in hers 
But not in hers 

We were talkin' about people that eat meat 
I felt like an ass 'cause I was one 
She said, "It's okay," but I felt like 
I just ate my young 

She is obviously a person with a cause 
I told her that I don't smoke or drink 
She told me to loosen up on her way to the L.C. 

She skips her classes and gets good grades 
I go to my courses rain or shine 
She's passin' her classes while I attend mine 

While I attend mine 
While I attend mine 
While I attend mine 
While I attend 

She wrote out a story about her life 
I think it included something about me 
I'm not sure of that but I'm sure of one thing 
Her spelling's atrocious 

She told me to read between the lines 
And tell her exactly what I got out of it 
I told her affection had two F's 
Especially when you're dealing with me 

I usually notice all the little things 
One time I was proud of it, she says it's annoying 
She cursed me up and down and rolled her are's, her beautiful are's 

She says I'm caught up in triviality 
All I really want to know is what she thinks of me 
I think my love for her makes me miss the point 

I miss the point, I miss the point 
I miss the point, I miss the point 
I miss the point, I miss the point 
I miss the point, Hey mister
