Song Notes

Judges Daughter is about a "judges daughter" back in high school. Had a crush on her and I thought her dad would throw me in prison.

Hence I never told her about the song. (Making myself laugh again)

Lyrics
Princess in a school girl's dream May I please speak with you I'm having troubles with control And it's all because of you Today I kept on falling down I thought it was the street So I look down at my shoes They were on the wrong feet And I find it hard to be myself (Can you please explain) And I do not think that it's my health (You're the one to blame) You're the one I wish I had And now my girlfriend is getting mad (I cannot call this sane...I cannot call this sane) Today as I was walking down You bumped into me You said, "Excuse me," and walked away As I dropped to my knees I prayed to the being in the sky That my parents told me of I asked about you, but no reply No clues about your love And I find it hard to be myself (Can you please explain) And I do not think that it's my health (You're the one to blame) My girlfriend left me on the phone I'm pathetically left here alone (I cannot call this sane...I cannot call this sane) Can we find a way So that you can stay I think I'm gonna pop And I find it hard to be myself (Can you please explain) And I do not think that it's my health (You're the one to blame) You're the one I wish I had And now my girlfriend is getting mad (I cannot call this sane...I cannot call this sane) Can we find a way So that you can stay I think I'm gonna pop
