Never got to know

Classroom dance in the fifth grade
I’m the new kid and afraid
Didn’t realize you followed me around so–
You’re the one I never got to know

Playing video games with college friends
You wanna talk so you stop by to say hello
But I’m distracted mashing buttons to no end–
You’re the one I never got to know

At a party I’m one of the wallflowers you see
So you crash my group and pick on me
Taken aback I fail to play along though–
You’re the one I never got to know

Last day of psych class
Taking a test I need to pass
Together we finish–did you say something as I go–?
You’re the one I never got to know

Meeting friends at the night club by myself
Too early for my posse to offer some help
Hanging there yourself you hope my friends are a no-show–
You’re the one I never got to know

At the company we work on the same floor
Same project team circumstances never did bestow
Sadly you’re another one I never got to know–
Always the girl next door
