I used to wait for her, after school 
By the gates with my books baby feeling a fool 
I used to walk her home every night 
In the summer or winter in the sun or ice 
We never spoke, I never caught her eye 
She didn’t even know I was there half the time 
I don’t think she even knew my name 
But I made sure that she always got home safe 

Raise your hands 
Tell me this is love 
Baby raise your hands 
Do it just because 

Wait, you won’t believe it, she said my name 
It was a day like today like any other day 
I was walking her home, ten feet back 
She turned around stared at me and went on the attack. 
She said you could at least walk by my side 
And so I stepped right up and said that sounded alright 
Now I walk her home every night 
Whoa hand in hand, our footsteps are in time. 

Raise your hands 
Tell me this is love 
Baby raise your hands 
Do it just because
