Catch 22 – Kristina She Don't Know I Exist lyrics

Not long ago in my high school days
I watched a girl from so far away
And everytime she passed me by
I turned my head away and quietly sighed.
And when she walked by her hair would dance,
A secret tango that only I could understand
And if she asked for the time of day
I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say:
Chorus:
Oh,Kristina Kristina Do you have any clue who I am?
(hell no)
So listen up because I'll tell you once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can.
Oh,Kristina Kristina You don't know me so I'll have to persist.
I'm kind of shy so don't wonder why Kristina she don't know I exist.
From class to class I followed her,
But I swore I'd leave her undisturbed
And if she ever stopped by and turned around I got so nervous
And I stared at the ground.
And then one day in photography I found a contact
Print that I could not believe and there she was
Staring back at me so I took her home so quietly.
Chorus:
Oh,Kristina Kristina Do you have any clue who I am?
Hell no)
So listen up because I'll tell you once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can.
Oh,Kristina Kristina You don't know me so I'll have to persist.
I'm kind of shy so don't wonder why Kristina she don't know I exist.

1/17/98 it's been a day that I've come to hate.
As I walked into the video store
There she stood as my jaw fell to the floor.
Tapping her toe, waiting in line, with a movie
And another guy
Why did I bother? Why did I care?
About this girl named Kristina Behr?
Oh, Kristina Kristina You'll never get to know who I am.(your loss)
So this is goodbye so please don't cry
And I'll let you down as softly as I can.
Kristina, Kristina another name to cross off my list.
In another life it could have been nice
But Kristina she won't know what she missed.
