They screamed your name, baby,
In the bleachers,
In the hallways
In the dorm rooms
On the yard.
They whispered about you
In the cafeteria
In the after party
In the class rooms
And I knew
I just needed
I just wanted
I just had to
Be underneath you
So I could scream
And so I could whisper
Too.
But once I did
Once I really knew-maaaaaaannnnnnn-The secret was so much better.
I had nothing to say.
Thank you.
