You told me to skip school

To go with you to the movies

You knew you were uncool

But you thought you could fool me

For the elderly and me and you

But now I do, would it have killed you

To call me pretty instead?

I'm in a second story window

And you're yelling at me, "Stella!"

I would open the door and walk home, it's only a couple miles
              Gbm                E
What could go wrong if I hitch a ride with a guy in a pickup
                 D                     E
Who doesn't know left from right from wrong?
