Not long ago in my high school days
I watched a girl from so far away
And every time she pa**ed 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 Oh, Kristina, Kristina
Do you have any clue who I am? Hell no
So listen up 'cause I'll tell you once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can Woah, 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 cla** to cla**, 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 starin' 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 you once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can Woah, 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 1-17-98
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 and 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
