Lyrics

(VERSE)
Remember when
We were just friends
But I was so crazy for you?
And I thought you knew
So I took a chance
And asked you to our school dance

That was last spring
You were my everything
I was your April fool
And each day at school
I'd stop and think
And wonder what you were doing

(PRECHORUS)
But summer has come and gone
And it seems so long
Since we had the talk
I was left in shock

(CHORUS)
I'm still sitting at the back of the bus on the way back home
And I still eat my lunch with the hip kids in the cafeteria
I'm still trying to be cool
But baby, it's all I can do without you

I walk through the halls
And stare at the walls
So I can't see you pass by
But as much as I try
It's my tragic flaw
I have to turn and watch

And to my surprise
You're there with Mike Grimes
How quickly he's taken my place
But I've got to save face
I tell my friends that it's fine
That I really don't mind

But it tears me up inside
And though I try to hide
I can't escape the truth
I'm not over you

I'm still sitting at the back of the bus on the way back home
And I still eat my lunch with the hip kids in the cafeteria
I'm still trying to be cool
But baby, it's all I can do

I'm still sitting at the back of the bus on the way back home
And I still eat my lunch with the hip kids in the cafeteria
I'm still trying to be cool
But baby, it's all I can do without you
