Tell Her I Love Her---

TELL HER I LOVE HER---
I see you at school today;
I often wondered, sometimes prayed;
Do you think of me;
And could I even be an interest to you;
A love lost teen in this complicated world;
Wanting only for you to be my girl;
So shy am I,
So shy am I;
So I ask the cool kids, I ask your older brother;
Tell her, tell her I love her;

I told my friends right away;
She's a sweet young thing;
I'd wish she'd wear my class ring;
And maybe when we're grown and older;
Trade  it in for a diamond engagement ring; 
I'm a love lost teen in this complicated world;
Wanting only for you to be my girl;
So shy am I,
So shy am I;
So I ask the cool kids, I ask your older brother;
Tell her, tell her I love her;
