She was a rare beauty
At a time when blonde was in
She had pretty, brown eyes
Long, s-wave hair, caramel skin
I took to heart every correspondence
We had between us
Even though we were kids, I was in love
It wasn’t a crush

CHORUS
How silly of me
In thinking
The valedictorian of high school
Could think of me
It was a pipe dream
Believing
The valedictorian of high school
Would fall for me

Despite of her beauty
Grades were her priority
Independent woman
Putting brain over beauty
When she could’ve had any gentleman
My feelings for her
For real, for real, don’t say it was a crush
It really was true love

CHORUS
How silly of me
In thinking
The valedictorian of high school
Could think of me
It was a pipe dream
Believing
The valedictorian of high school
Would fall for me

BRIDGE
When Valentine came around
I was blindsided
Got a newsletter
With her name on it
In the heart of a
Basketball player
My heart broke into pieces
I went home, crying
Silly me, thinking
That I had a chance

CHORUS
How silly of me
In thinking
The valedictorian of high school
Could think of me
It was a pipe dream
Believing
The valedictorian of high school
Would fall for me
