Kristina She Don't Know I Exist - Catch 22

Not long ago in my high school days

I watched a girl from so far away

but every time she passed me by

I turned my head away and quietly sighed

and when she walked by her hair would dance a secret tango

that only I could understand

and if she asked me for the time of day

I’d look her in the eyes and quietly say

Oooo… Kristina, Kristina

do you have any clue who I am?

(hell no)

so listen up 'cos I’ll tell you once

and I’ll explain myself the best that I can

Oooo… Kristina, Kristina

you don’t know me so I’ll have to persist

I’m kind of shy so don’t wonder why

Kristina she don’t know I exist

from class to class I followed her

but I swore I’d leave her undisturbed

and if she ever stopped and turned around

I got so nervous and I stared at the ground

and then one day in photography

I found a contact print that I could not believe

and there she was staring back at me so I took her home so quietly

Kristina, Kristina

do you have any clue who I am?

(hell no)

so listen up 'cos I’ll tell you once

and I’ll explain myself the best that I can

Oooo… Kristina, Kristina

you don’t know me so I’ll have to persist

I’m kind of shy so don’t wonder why

Kristina she don’t know I exist

it’s been a day that I’ve come to hate

as I walked into the video store

there she stood as my jaw fell to the floor

tapping her toe waiting in line

with a movie and another guy

why did I bother?

why did I care about this girl named Kristina Behr?

Kristina, Kristina

you’ll never get to know who I am

(your loss)

this is goodbye so please don’t cry

and I’ll let you down as softly as I can

Kristina, Kristina

another name to cross off my list

in another life it could have been nice

but Kristina she won’t know what she missed
