There was this kid a few years back A little older than me Who lived in my house and looked a lot like my mother There was this kid I knew back then and I was sure he would be The greatest star I'd ever known I'd watch him walk into a room and he was never out of place He knew the answer to every question The square and cube of every prime A name to go with every face Like he was king upon a throne And we had nothing in common Nothing in common My mother was convinced that I failed english out of spite We had nothing in common Nothing in common And 30-some years later I'm still tortured and amazed By how Daivd always got the answers right Now later on, I knew this guy, He was in high school I think Had lots of friends and was the pride of the family He'd call me names and punch my head and made me feel like a dink And I would hide from him all day But if I couldn't find a friend, Which happened more than I'd have liked, I'd go where he was and sulk around him He'd say you dont know how to throw and just dont play your stupid songs And then he'd toss the ball my way We had nothing in common Nothing in common I thought he was a jerk and who know what he thought I'd be But twenty some years later I'm still grateful and surprised By the little gifts that David gave to me I knew this guy before I wed He had a vision in his head Of how his life would play out and his dreams would come true But he was stumbling, he was stalled And every year after he called I'd just think man, there goes the lonliest guy I ever knew People think I'm failing They never understand But temporary set backs Are part of what I planned And David had his vision And david played his game We have nothing much in common But we are more or less the same There was a guy who met a girl who had a cat that fell in love That got a house and made a vow He took her hand and they lived happily ever after Happily ever after Happily ever after Here's to happily ever after Happily ever after
