i was walking in our town
i was walking through the store
i saw a pretty girl
she held open the door
i said 'i like you'
she said that she liked me
and we could be friends
in our special stupid way

i went to pacific cafe
there she was again
so i said 'hey 
we should go swimming in capital lake'
we had a lot of fun but then it got real late
so i walked her home
and had dinner with her family

that's why [bad word] away
that's why [bad word] away
that's why [bad word] away
that's why [bad word] away
that's why [bad word] away
that's why i had dinner with her family

we went to her friend's house
to have a cup of tea
she said that it was [bad word] she was in love with me
i knew right then we'd have to be alone
cause no one in this whole world could ever understand

that's why [bad word] away
that's why [bad word] away
that's why i had dinner with her family
