You were 9 and I was 10, 

Remember you had a Walkman, 

All I had was a middle part and a pen 



Oh sweet Louise, 

Whatever happened to her? 



Then is all went downhill, 

You grew tall I stayed the same, 

I guess that's just puberty, 

Making us boys all play a losing game 



Oh sweet Louise 



I always found it hard to work things through, 

Those school uniforms made a joke, 

Made a joke of me and you, 

I'm glad I'm not back in school 



She got an older boyfriend (how could she?) 

Had a beard, 

Smoked Marlboro red, 

How can I compete with that? (how can he?) 

I don't even know the location of the bike sheds 



Oh sweet Louise 



I always found it hard to work things through, 

Those school uniforms made a joke, 

Made a joke of me and you, 

I always found it hard to work things through, 

Those school uniforms made a joke, 

Made a joke of me and you 



I remember short skirts, 

Long hair, 

My hormones flying everywhere 



I always found it hard to work things through, 

Those school uniforms made a joke, 

Made a joke of me and you, 

I always found it hard to work things through, 

Those school uniforms made a joke, 

Made a joke of me and you 



I'm glad I'm not back in school
