Freak / Geek

There you sit at the front of my class,

I can’t concentrate I should be doing maths,

But all I can do is dream about you.

What am I thinking you’re the queen of the school,

And I’m just a geek acting the fool.

It’s time to go home the school bell is ringing,

I cross the school yard what am I thinking,

How could it be you’d look at me?

I call out your name hear myself ask for a date,

I’m just a freak you’re friends all laugh in my face.

I’M A GEEK

I like Babylon 5,

I’M A FREAK

I like getting high,

I’M A FREAK

I dress all in black,

I’M A GEEK

I can recite Kerouac

But that’s not all I am,

Inside I’m still a man.

It’s Saturday night we’re all at the disco,

I look at you how could you ever know,

All that I feel but to you I’m not real.

I’m just the boy from who you copy chemistry,

I’m just a geek vainly hoping you’ll notice me.

Outside it’s dark I see you walking home,

You smile at me is it because we’re all alone,

Could it be true you feel as I do?

Then you’re caught up by the boy from the football team,

Get lost you freak I here him calling to me.

I’M A FREAK

Who’s never been kissed,

I’M AGEEK

Who gets off on playing Risk,

I’M A GEEK

Who knows about Calculus,

I’M A FREAK

I’ve never been one of us,

But that’s not all I am,

Inside I’m still a man.

I turn the corner walking away from school,

There you are asking me why I’m such a fool,

Why did you go I didn’t say no?

Take me by the hand walk with me away from here,

Call me a freak but I like the geek,

Who’s standing here.

(Then she said)

There’s a freak,

Trying to get out of me,

I’m a geek,

I like Gene Rodenberry,

You’re a geek

And I don’t care what my friends say,

We’ll be freaks,

Together no matter what they say.

WE’LL BE FREAKS
