He wasn't much to look at I wouldn't call him 'fun' He was twelve years old and I was just eleven My friends thought I was crazy But my innocence was won by the boy who introduced my heart to heaven He was the smartest boy in the whole sixth grade And I couldn't believe I'd found him Though his teeth were in braces and his dockers were frayed I just wanted to be around him There are men who make you lose yourself Or fill you with regret But Adam won my lifelong love Because he played the clarinet Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo I wanted nothing more than to share a stand With this prodigy of perfection I dreamt of after school practice with the Junior High band Where we'd sit in the woodwind section So I marched into the band room and became a devotee For Adam was my lifelong love and this would make him notice me Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo Oh, how I practiced God, did I s** Adam gave lessons I was in luck All the scales he made me learn by heart I had never seen him look so cute I told him that his music was an art He told me that his girlfriend played the flute I was the dumbest girl in the whole fifth grade And now everyone else had seen it I announce, "I quit the band! My decision has been made." But I wish that I didn't mean it For the music had a hold on me much more than any fling I knew I found my lifelong love And Adam didn't mean a thing The marching band was not for me But in the choir I could sing Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo Doo doo-bee doo-bee doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo-wah He was the smartest boy in the whole sixth grade
