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 when she’d ask me for the time of day, I’d look her in the eyes and quietly say.
Oh Kristina, Kristina, do you have any clue who I am? (HELL NO!) So listen up cause I’ll tell ya once and I’ll explain myself the best that I can, whoa, Kristina, Kristina, you don’t know me so ill have to persist, [whistle] I’m kinda shy so no 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’d ever stopped and turned around, I’d get so nervous that I’d stare 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 cause I’ll tell ya once and I’ll explain myself the best that I can, Kristina, Kristina, you don’t know me so I’ll have to persist, [whistle] I’m kinda shy so no wonder why, Kristina she don’t know I exist.
1.17.98 has 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. Another life, it could’ve been nice, but Kristina she won’t know what she missed.
