I was hoping you would notice
But when I see you I go to pieces
That that's the reason I act so foolishly
I hope you'll have mercy on me
I don't know too much about you
But your friend said you like Bruce Springsteen

David Gray said I was like him
And Booga looked like a sumo wrestler
Well at the time that really pissed me off
And now I wish you could have heard him
I don't know too much about you
You must be cool because you like Bruce Springsteen

I'll never be the boss just lower management I guess
I've never had a Thunderbird 

I'd do anything to impress you
I'd do anything to caress you
I grew up in a town called Whittlesey
I've never been to New Jersey
I don't know too much about you
But your friend said you like Bruce Springsteen

I'll never be the boss just lower management I guess
He never went to Vietnam 
You wouldn't catch me in Willingham

I was hoping you would notice
But when I see you I go to pieces
That that's the reason I act so foolishly
I hope you'll have mercy on me
I don't know too much about you
But your friend said you like Bruce Springsteen
