Lyrics
THAT ONE KID
When he walks into a room,
he makes sure everyone sees him
There aren?t many kids
That would really want to be him
He drives me crazy with his moods
even angry at his actions
But oh the way he draws
gives me so much satisfaction
It?s one kid, that special kid
that drives me nuts and yet
can?t explain it, yet I like ?em
Because I know the stage is set
Ill ? overlook her quirks
she?s always temperamental
If I tell her ?Do it this way?
she?d rather be experimental
She hears a different drummer
she has a different beat
If I said just use your hands
she?d paint it with her feet
It?s one kid, that special kid
that drives me nuts and yet
can?t explain it, yet I like ?em
Because I know the stage is set
Yesterday it was bizarre
I thought I?d seen it all
I didn?t understand him till
he hung it on the wall
The colors were amazing
I couldn?t look away
To think I may have helped a bit
it really made my day...
