I Knew Exactly What I Would Do.

I had it all planned out. I knew exactly what I would do.

I would come up to you at your locker, and ask you if you would go to the dance with me. You would say yes, and I would be on cloud nine all day.

I walked past you, without even saying a word. You never even knew I was there.

I had it all planned out. I knew exactly what I would do.

I would talk to your best friend. I would ask her if you were going with anyone. She would say no, and I would get her to let you know I wanted to take you.

Of course, I also knew she was away on vacation this week.

I had it all planned out. I knew exactly what I would do.

I would go to the dance. I would see you there, and I would ask you to dance. We would spend the evening talking, dancing, falling in love. And, at the end, I would walk you home.

I did exactly what I knew I would.

I stood in the shadows and watched you, too scared to say anything. And, at the end, I left alone.
